Mary Shelley's classic of gothic horror--a cautionary tale of the limits of creativity that introduced the world to one of the most iconic monsters in literary history--now a major-motion picture by Oscar-winning writer-director Guillermo Del Toro, starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth. Obsessed with creating life, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, which he shocks into life with electricity. But his botched creature, rejected by Frankenstein and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy his maker and all that he holds dear. This chilling gothic tale, begun when Mary Shelley was just nineteen years old, would become the world's most famous work of horror fiction, and is now the inspiration of a film adaptation written and directed by Guillermo Del Toro and starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth.

The exquisite Via Crucis [Shelley] crafted for her creature speaks to all outsiders and will continue to do so for centuries to come." - Guillermo del Toro
