Publisher's Note One of the greatest of all forbidden pleasure is reading another person's private journal. And when the writer is none other than Victor Frankenstein, the experience becomes even more thrilling. Here, written in his own hand, is the young medical student's account of his stupendous and horrifying achievement: a monster, cobbled together from human flesh. Here are his sketches of his friends and family, and of the fiend, as well. And here, too, amongst the pages, are letters receipts, and other small documents from a once promising life that devolves into nightmare. Compulsively readable and astonishingly well produced, this volume really looks and feels like and 18th century artifact. You might tell yourself it's just make believe, but that doesn't mean you won't be chilled to the bone by each page.
