Sinossi

This definitive collection gathers together the complete novels of one of the most visionary and influential writers of the Romantic era.

Blending Gothic atmosphere, philosophical inquiry, psychological intensity, and early science fiction imagination, Mary Shelley's novels explore the boundaries of ambition, creation, isolation, morality, and the human condition. Her works examine the dangers of unchecked power, the fragility of social bonds, and the profound emotional consequences of exile and longing.

From storm-lashed landscapes and ruined castles to speculative futures and historical settings, these novels reveal the remarkable range of Shelley's imagination. Beyond her most famous creation, her fiction spans apocalyptic vision, historical romance, political reflection, and deeply personal meditations on loss and survival.

Included in this volume:

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818)

Valperga (1823)

The Last Man (1826)

The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck (1830)

Lodore (1835)

Falkner (1837)

Darkly atmospheric, intellectually daring, and emotionally powerful, these novels helped shape Gothic literature, proto–science fiction, and modern speculative storytelling. This edition presents the complete, unabridged texts in one comprehensive volume.

    A witch with no power captured by four vicious, possessive, sinfully hot gargoyles… 
    Not exactly the makings of a happy ending. 
    Yet here in the arms of New York’s most brutal monsters, I’ve never felt so safe. So cherished.  
    As we work to obliterate our enemies and solve the mysteries of my past—a past that very well holds the key to unlocking my lost magic and breaking their curse—my gargoyles and I have grown impossibly close. 
    But with every enemy destroyed and clue uncovered, through every searing kiss and filthy, forbidden touch, something dark is awakening inside me.  
    Something... hungry. 
    The gargoyles told me that committing violence takes something from you—and they would know. 
    But for me? I’m pretty sure it’s giving something back. Something I’ve been missing for far too long. 
    And now that I’ve gotten a taste, I’m afraid my nights of blood and vengeance are just beginning… 
    Wicked Awakening is the second book in the Claimed by Gargoyles series, a scorching hot reverse harem paranormal mafia romance featuring a feisty witch coming into her power and four fiercely possessive gargoyle gangsters with horns, tails, oh-so-sensitive wings, and special “equipment” guaranteed to leave their woman—and their readers—begging for more.
