Una delle più famose storie horror mai scritte, fu il primo romanzo di una giovanissima Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. È la storia di uno scienziato, Frankenstein, che apprende come dare vita a tessuti morti riuscendo così a creare un mostro. Fisicamente orribile, viene rifiutato da Frankenstein. Il non sentirsi accettato non solo dagli esseri umani, ma anche dal suo creatore, trasforma un essere interiormente buono in un crudele e spietato assassino con conseguenze tragiche per molti.
