With detailed and evocative imagery, renowned artist David Plunkert takes readers on a dark journey into the greatest novel in the monster genre, Frankenstein.

Over two centuries after Mary Shelley's original version, Rockport Publisher's Classics Reimagined series presents this beautiful deluxe edition.

Each artist offers his or her own unique, visual interpretation of the most well-loved, widely read, and avidly collected literature from renowned authors. From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and from Jane Austen to Edgar Allan Poe, collect every beautiful volume.

About the Author

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (30 August 1797 - 1 February 1851) was an English romantic/gothic novelist and the author of Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. She was married to the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.Mary Shelley was born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin in Somers Town, in London, in 1797. She was the second daughter of famed feminist, philosopher, educator, and writer Mary Wollstonecraft. Her father was the equally famous anarchist philosopher, novelist, journalist, and atheist dissenter William Godwin. Her mother died of puerperal fever ten days after Mary was born.

David Plunkert is a principal, art director, designer, and illustrator at Spur Design in Baltimore, Maryland. The firm designs posters, covers, logos, brochures, and websites for publishers and corporations. His illustrations have appeared in Newsweek, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and LA Weekly, among many others. His steampunkish illustration and collage style give his characters a spooky, surrealistic quality.

Fabulous illustrations, not to be missed

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

A good size hardcover book with superb illustrations by David Plunkert. I bought this book because I love Plunkert's art, and had already bought his Poe book. I was thrilled when I got this and saw that there are so many full-page, full-color illustrations, and also many smaller ones used as borders and such. Bravo!!!!!

Classic Book that Deserves a Better Publication

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

Frankenstein is an excellent classic novel that everyone should read. The novel earns a 5 star rating. However, the Classics Reimagined series is not the best format for this novel. I wanted a hardbound version of the novel, and this may be the best option for the price, but the quality is lackluster. There were several typos in the text (normally these typos were two words that lacked a space between them) and the quality of the covers was poor. I would definitely prefer a more durable cover with a dust jacket rather than an imprinted cover that seems to bend easily at the corners.

Very Happy to Add this to my Collection

Arrived on time and in great condition. I'm excited to add this beautiful book to my Frankenstein collection. The art is really something, whether or not you've read Frankenstein before, this is a cool experience.

I have loved the Classics Reimagined editions in both paperback and hardback

I have loved the Classics Reimagined editions in both paperback and hardback, and I own all of both editions available on Amazon. However I am a little disappointed in this newest release, the spine isn’t sprayed like every other book in the collection so it looks out of place as a group. Darn it! I love this edition! I wish the spine had a sprayed edge to continue with the superb quality of the other classics reimagined

Beautifully rendered and re-designed edition of a horror classic! Clever and illuminating illustrations that hauntingly complement Shelley’s text.

Great book! Compared to this award winning book, the movie really didn’t do her story justice.

What a great addition to Frankenstein fans. The illustrations are great and honestly for the price, I'm still surprised it was only like $18. Very high quality and a must 200th anniversary edition.

Soy un lector voraz, de unos 50-70 libros al año y me encantan las novelas buenas negro-criminales (lo de buenas lo he escrito con toda la intención, pues en la actualidad la inmensa mayoría de las novelas negras.... pues no. Me refiero a C.Himes, J. Thompson, J.Ellroy, James M. Cain, M.Connelly, Manuel V. Montalban, Mankell.. novelas negras buenas vaya) y los clásicos en general. Hay varios libros que me encantan y que si veo alguna edición bonita caigo. A bote pronto me viene a la cabeza, "La isla del tesoro", "Alicia" o "Frankenstein". De éstos unas cuantas ediciones y ésta de Frankenstein es mi 2ª favorita

Es una edicion especial, muy cuidada de "Frankenstein". La parte grafica no deja absolutamente nada que desear, los "inserts" de cuerpo son fenomenales. La portada es una preciosidad, el tacto impresiona mucho.
