Bookroo's summary

Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist, defies nature by creating life from death. But his monstrous creation, born from stitched corpses and electric power, soon spirals out of control. As the creature gains awareness, it grapples with its own existence and turns against its maker. Can Victor undo the horror he unleashed, or will his ambition lead to his downfall? Discover the chilling consequences of playing god in this timeless tale of ambition and regret.

From the publisher

Mary Shelley’s tragic story of a scientist who created a monster is perhaps even more compelling and meaningful today than when it was written nearly two centuries ago. From the bits and pieces of dead bodies, and the power of electricity, the brilliant Victor Frankenstein fashions a new form of life–only to discover, too late, the irreparable damage he has caused.
