  Dive into Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, a masterpiece that seamlessly weaves Gothic horror with the seeds of science fiction. Journey with Victor Frankenstein, a scientist consumed by ambition, who creates a being that defies nature, only to spiral into a nightmare of his own making. This novel is not just a tale of terror but an introspective look at the human condition, exploring themes of guilt, isolation, and the ethical quandaries of scientific advancement. 
  Shelley's novel, enriched by her own life's turmoil and the intellectual ferment of her times, challenges us to ponder the boundaries between creator and creation, responsibility, and regret. Its complex narrative and profound questions resonate as much today as they did in the 19th century, making it a timeless examination of man’s aspirations and the darkness they can unleash. 
  Frankenstein is a journey into the depths of human ambition and the consequences it can birth. This gripping narrative, alongside its enduring questions, proves that true horror lies in the mirror reflection of our collective choices. Don't miss this chance to own a piece of literary history that remains chillingly relevant in today's technological age.

  "Visions have always been my pasture. I almost think there is no wisdom comparable to that of exchanging the realities of life for dreams. Old castles, old pictures, old histories take one back into centuries that cannot disappoint. I waked one morning from a dream of which all I could recover was that I had thought myself in a ancient castle and that on the uppermost banister of a great staircase I saw a gigantic hand in armour. In the evening I sat down to write, without knowing in the least what I intended to say or relate. The work grew on my hands and I grew fond of it - in short I was so engrossed with my tale, which I completed in less than two months, that one evening I wrote till I could not hold the pen to finish the sentence!" -- Horace Walpole  
  The action in 'The Castle of Otranto' never ceases. It is set against the murky background of Gothic battlements where enchanted helmets and swords fall as the villain rants and raves. The heroine escapes his clutches through a musty trapdoor into a chill underground cavern helped by a mysterious hero of strange origin and a friar who is not all he seems. Will truth and justice triumph? Enjoy the original Gothic thriller leavened with wit and timeless humour and find out.
