A scientist who breathed life into the inanimate object of his own creation - this bizarre story came to its suthor in a half-awake nightmare that has been a frightening inspiration to others ever since.

Got this at the Lifeline bookshop.

When young scientist Frankenstein is exposed to new theories of nature at university, he discovers a way to animate a being he has created from parts of deceased persons. The being is hideous - a monster feared and reviled by all who see him. This of course makes him a mite put out and he begins a rampage of violence against his creator.

This was as fantastic as I was expecting. The seminal horror novel, I can see why this has inspired story-tellers for years since it was first published. I was surprised at the level of understanding of the human mind as rendered by the author.
