I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion.' A summer evening's ghost stories, lonely insomnia in a moonlit Alpine's room, and a runaway imagination -- fired by philosophical discussions with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley about science, galvanism, and the origins of life -- conspired to produce for Mary Shelley this haunting night specter. By morning, it had become the germ of her Romantic masterpiece, \u0026amp;quot;Frankenstein.\u0026amp;quot; Written in 1816 when she was only 19, Mary Shelley's novel of 'The Modern Prometheus' chillingly dramatized the dangerous potential of life begotten upon a laboratory table. A frightening creation myth for our own time, \u0026amp;quot;Frankenstein\u0026amp;quot; remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written and is an undisputed classic of its kind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081247080617,"sku":"PHBK-9780486282114","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/view_archive_865d3724-8aac-40da-a1e2-53add004b755.jpg?v=1778610369","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/frankenstein","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
