More info A novelty from Gris Grimley, a talented artist who brought the novels of Edgar Poe to life in «Tales of Death and Oblivion». From full-length spreads to the smallest details framing Mary Shelley’s classic novel, the graphic novel will amaze you with an abundance of illustrations. Gris Grimley carefully disassembled Mary Shelley’s work into episodes and added colors to the words. Gothic classics came to life in the rusted pipes of steam-punk and the poisonous green fumes of Frankenstein’s laboratory. This book should be read carefully and scrutinized. After all, from the pen of Gris Grimley came a real masterpiece worthy of the original by Mary Shelley.

I saw this disgusting creature first lying motionless, and then, obeying a certain force, showed signs of life and awkwardly moved.

The story about science and morality, about love and loss, about hope and despair, about the horrific experiments of Viktor Frankenstein, even two hundred years later, finds a response as an eternal reminder of man’s ability to create and destroy. It has inspired generations of writers, artists and filmmakers, and many adaptations have been made from it — in print, on stage and on screen — but nothing like this has ever happened. Gris Grimley, a student of the nonhuman arts and master of Gothic horror, has long considered Frankenstein to be his main inspiration. … From the bones and flesh of the original, he cut and sewed Mary Shelley’s text into his illustrations, creating something completely new: a stunningly original remix, classic and modern, sinister and seductive, gripping and heartbreaking. Beautifully frightening and frighteningly beautiful — this is Frankenstein like you have never before did not see. …
