About this listen

After he is found adrift in the Arctic by Captain Fredrick Walton, a gravely ill Victor Frankenstein recounts the story of his life up to his discovery. He tells how his obsession with science led to the creation of an abomination who, to his horror and shame, he abandoned. The creature's quest for both revenge and understanding from his creator leaves a violent trail of devastation in Victor’s life that affects all those he holds dear.

Frankenstein is a powerful story of love and ambition, of friendship and morality, and of horror and violence.

"Beware, for I am fearless and therefore powerful"

Frankenstein, written by the 18-year-old Mary Shelley, was originally published in 1818. This audio version uses the text of the revised 1831 version of Shelley's famous tale.

This was my first time reading the book, and I was so happy to see it was Rob Goll narrating it - I was already a big fan of his Bram Stoker's Dracula. It quickly became one of my favourite classics. Shelley absolutely nailed the absurdity of human ambition through Victor and, ironically, the torments of being human through the Creature. Loved the book from start to finish. Rob's narration was phenomenal, he masterfully brought each character's complex emotions to life, and had me hooked the whole time.
