The famous story of the inhuman creature who lurks forever in the human imagination

Back cover text

Horror stalked the night

A monster had been loosed upon the world — an artificial creature, superhumanly strong, inhumanly vicious. His creator knew he must track it down and destroy it — halt its career of terror and murder.

And as Victor Frankenstein, the mad scientist, pursued his destiny through the night, he heard the echo of the monster's fearful threat — "I'll be with you on your wedding night!"

This drama of the supernatural, of perverted science, of evil and the mysteries beyond man's knowledge, has no equal in the literature of the world.
