Frankenstein

Anonymous

"Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful."

Step into the dark heart of the Romantic era with Mary Shelley's masterpiece, Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. This edition presents the raw, shocking, and profoundly philosophical original 1818 text, before later revisions softened its edges.

Driven by ambition, the brilliant but arrogant scientist Victor Frankenstein defies nature and creates life. But the being he animates is not a god but a creature, an intelligent and sensitive soul rejected by its creator and condemned by humanity. What follows is a tragic, terrifying pursuit that explores:

The Ethics of Science: Where is the line between genius and madness?

The Nature of Humanity: Who is the real monster—the creation or the creator?

Gothic Horror: A chilling atmosphere, complex narrative, and relentless sense of dread.

A foundational work of both science fiction and Gothic horror, Frankenstein remains one of the most influential novels ever written. If you crave a classic that chills, thrills, and makes you question the very core of civilization, this is an essential read.

Dare to meet your creator. Click "Buy Now" and unleash the true terror of the monster's story.

Silent Scream - A Nordic Non-Noir

Roxanne Varzi

Alex slips off her headphones and savors the sensation of stillness in silence while the crowd dances on at Oslo’s hot new silent disco. She is conducting her dream field research on sound and attention when a handsome stranger beckons to her from across the dance floor. Hoping for a little warmth in Norway’s cold climate, she follows him -- going from anthropology PhD student to murder suspect. With the Norwegian police and a killer closing in, Alex is stranded in a country where every puzzle piece is slightly out of place. While dyslexia makes reading Norwegian difficult, it also gifts her an uncanny ability to read people. Soon she is channeling Ms. Marple as much as Margaret Meade, as she re-places puzzle pieces and navigates the sharp edges of the frosty Fjord in an attempt to free herself and return home.
