Mary Shelley (1797-1851), wife of the English poet Percy B. Shelley, wrote Frankenstein to participate in a horror story contest held in the privacy of Lord Byron's castle. Even competing with great geniuses of universal literature, he ended up writing this which is one of the most impressive horror stories of all time. The story of dr. Victor Frankenstein and the monstrous creature he designed has fascinated generations since it was published more than a hundred years ago. A brilliant horror story, written with almost hallucinatory fervor, Frankenstein represents one of the strangest flowers of romantic imagination.
