  • <em>Frankenstein</em> by Mary Shelly, Audiobook by John T. Van Stan II

    Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, Audiobook

    John T. Van Stan II

    Audiobook of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein read by Georgia Southern faculty member Prof. John Van Stan.

    This is a classic (gothic) horror story, and one of the earliest examples of science fiction. The main characters are Dr. Frankenstein and his creation, the daemon. Shelley called the scientist a "pale student of unhallowed arts" and his creation a "hideous phantasm of a man." This story is not only delightfully frightful, but arguably represents one of the clearest criticisms of science during a time when, like the daemon, it was leaving its own infancy and, like Dr. Frankenstein, testing its ethical boundaries. As Shelley said, "Frightful must it be; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavour to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world. His success would terrify the artist; he would rush away from his odious handywork, horror-stricken."

    VERY special thanks to John Coulthart for permission to use his awesome illustrations in the thumbnails! Please check out the book (Editorial Alma, Spain, 2018) and Coulthart's other work: http://www.johncoulthart.com/bibliopo... https://www.amazon.com/Frankenstein-C...
