First edition thus. Quarto, pp., 192. Illustrated throughout, pictorial soft cover. Some scuffs to the edges and corners, some light toning to the text block edges. This edition reprints the full text of the novel of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (1831) with illustrations by Berni Wrightson. The gothic horror story of Dr Victor Frankenstein’s attempts to create life is widely regarded as the world's first science fiction novel. Wrightson has drawn approximately 50 detailed pen-and-ink illustrations. The illustrations are based on the source material rather than the popular culture renditions that have come before it. The book includes an introduction by modern horror author Stephen King. £65.00
