About this listen

Audie Award Finalist, Solo Narration - Male, 2013

Audie Award Finalist, Classic, 2013

Narrator Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

I felt such a range of emotions listening to this. Dan Stevens did a WONDERFUL job at putting all the expressions in and I really felt for Frankenstein’s Monster. 100% recommend this audiobook and this story in general. So beautifully written for such a sad story.

Narration was stellar, and it is still an amazement to me that these words were first put to paper by such a young woman, so long ago.

A Classic
