Summary
Frankensteinranks among the most popular novels ever written, and this illustrated edition is especially rewarding. Its 64 distinctive illustrations by Lynd Ward, a master of woodcut technique, combine elements of Art Deco and German Expressionism. Ward's unusual perspectives and dramatic light-and-dark contrasts offer the perfect complement to Mary Shelley's Gothic masterpiece.
