Everthing You Ever Wanted to Know About Frankenstein!

A volume that every fan of horror, science fiction, English literature, and Mary Shelley should read! It consists of a bunch of articles written by various scholars about the book "Frankenstien" (by Mary Shelley), that does not mean that they are too scholarly for the average person to understand. As a matter of fact they are all very easy to read. The editor (Don Nardo) also included a helpful overview of Mary Shelley's life in the front of the book. He also has an excellent bibliogrophy telling the reader many other books to check about Frankenstein and Mary Shelley.
