Bookroo's summary

In a vivid graphic novel adaptation, Victor Frankenstein's ambition births a creature that defies nature. Gris Grimly's illustrations breathe new life into Mary Shelley's classic, blending horror with empathy. As Victor grapples with his monstrous creation, readers are drawn into a world where beauty and terror coexist. Will Frankenstein's pursuit of knowledge lead to redemption or ruin? This haunting remix of the 1818 text invites both new and seasoned readers to explore the dark depths of human ambition and its consequences.

From the publisher

Gris Grimly’s Frankenstein is a twisted, fresh, and utterly original full-length, full-color graphic-novel adaptation of Mary Shelley’s original text, brought to life by acclaimed illustrator Gris Grimly.”Grimly enlivens the prose while retaining its power to both frighten and engage sympathy for the monster-creator Victor Frankenstein. This is a richly morose nightmare of a book, a primer for young readers on the pleasures and dangers of decadent languidness.”–New York Times Book ReviewThe first fully illustrated version to use the original 1818 text, this handsome volume is destined to capture the imagination of those new to the story as well as those who know it well.New York Times bestselling illustrator Gris Grimly has long considered Frankenstein to be one of his chief inspirations. From the bones and flesh of the original, he has cut and stitched Mary Shelley’s text to his own artwork, creating something entirely new: a stunningly original remix, both classic and contemporary, sinister and seductive, heart-stopping and heartbreaking.
