I sorg over sin mors død begraver den unge videnskabsmand Victor Frankenstein sig i et vanvittigt eksperiment og stykker et væsen sammen af kropsdele fra lig. Ved hjælp af lyn i natten gnistrer han liv i skabningen, men da han ser den åbne sine døde øjne, flygter han i rædsel, og det forladte væsen er overladt til sig selv, mens det vandrer rundt i verden i en desperat søgen efter venskab og forståelse. Overalt møder det afsky og frygt, og verdens afvisninger og dets egen ensomhed ender med at gøre dets indre lige så ondt og ækelt som dets ydre."Frankenstein" er ikke bare en gruopvækkende og hjemsøgende gyser. Det er også historien om et væsen, der fødes med potentiale for det gode, men som en uforstående verden forvandler til et hævngerrigt monster, og om et skæbnesvangert bånd mellem skaber og skabning, som ingen af dem formår at bryde.Den engelske forfatter Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) er bedst kendt for sin roman "Frankenstein" og sit ægteskab med den store romantiske digter Percy Bysshe Shelley, som hun stak af med som 16-årig og levede sammen med frem til hans tragiske død i 1822.

En un enorme y fortificado castillo, construido en una empinada escarpa dominando el Loira, no lejos de la ciudad de Nantes, moraba la última de su raza y heredera de su fortuna, la joven y hermosa condesa de Villeneuve. El año anterior lo había pasado en completa soledad en su apartada mansión; y el luto que llevaba por su padre y dos hermanos, víctimas de las guerras civiles, era una gentil y buena razón para no aparecer en la corte, y mezclarse en sus festejos. Pero la huérfana Condesa había heredado un título de alcurnia y extensas tierras; y pronto comprendió que el Rey, su guardián, deseaba que ella otorgara ambos, junto con su mano, a algún noble cuyo nacimiento y talentos personales le dieran derecho a la dote. Constanza, como respuesta, expresó su intención de profesar votos y retirarse a un convento. El Rey se lo prohibió seria y resueltamente, creyendo que semejante idea era el resultado de la sensibilidad sobreexcitada por la pena, y confiando en la esperanza de que, después de un tiempo, el genial espíritu de la juventud despejaría esta nube.Mary Shelley (1797 – 1851) es una de las escritoras más importantes e influyentes de la literatura británica del siglo XIX.
