Relish the thrilling horror of Frankenstein in Folio’s stunning new edition. The authoritative 1831 text is bound in ice-blue leather and illustrated with intensely brooding colour plates by Angela Barrett. Limited to just 750 hand-numbered copies, each signed by the artist, Mary Shelley’s darkly disturbing tale is newly introduced by Richard Holmes.

There can be few books as well-known as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Adapted for stage, film and radio over 100 times, this chilling gothic tale is thought by some to be the very first science-fiction novel. For Folio’s fabulous limited edition, artist Angela Barrett has contributed eight ominously unsettling colour plates, two elaborate hand-drawn borders, nine intricate black-and-white vignettes, and a pair of striking designs on the ice-blue leather binding and black cloth-covered slipcase.
