Gris Grimly's Frankenstein

Gris Grimly's Frankenstein is a 2013 illustrated edition of Mary Shelley's novel, with dark, spindly drawings by the artist Gris Grimly. The story is the familiar one of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who brings a living being to life and then turns from it in horror. The pictures give the tale a macabre, storybook look and bring out its gothic mood. It offers a fresh, visual way into a classic about ambition, responsibility and loneliness.
