Publisher Description
The classic tale of men and their monsters is narrated by the host of the spooky Lore podcast.
First published in 1818, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is frequently credited as the first-ever science fiction novel. Her supernatural thriller—about a brilliant scientist who attempts to create a life and ends up destroying countless others—has become a cultural touchstone, sparking 200 years of conversations about human hubris and the unintended consequences of scientific experimentation.
This Apple Books exclusive features Aaron Mahnke reading Shelley’s astonishing tale of men and their monsters. Mahnke—host and creator of the hit podcast Lore (which has been adapted into books and a TV show)—knows a thing or two about scary stories. He’s the perfect narrator for this spooky, unexpectedly heartbreaking classic.
Customer Reviews
Good, not great
Great book, poor narration
Women narrator needed
You are defeating the purpose of recognising Mary Shelley’s influence in literature and critical thinking. Why are you still supporting discrimination? You are choosing male narrators even when a woman is the author. Apple is supporting men being the default choice and given the highest opportunities when women have to work more than men to get recognition for their talent.
Painful narrator
Couldn’t get past chapter 3. The narrator is the most painfully boring and monotone speaker. Jesus Christ get a personality.
