"Obsessed with natural philosophy, young Victor Frankenstein succeeds in creating life from its basic elements--and abandons the newborn monstrosity in terrer when he cannot bear to look at it. The rejected creature vanishes, and Victor attempts to forget what he has done... But the monster survives. It learns. Deprived of everything, fated to forever be alone, it has nothing left but revege." --back cover
