Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award and beloved by listeners worldwide, this acclaimed recording of Frankenstein—read by Clive Hayward, one of England’s finest actors—returns in an exciting new edition, now followed by a Student Guide told by Mary Shelley herself.
In this Easy Classics production from Alison Larkin Presents, Hayward delivers what AudioFile Magazine calls a “passionate narration of Mary Shelley’s timeless novel,” capturing both “the calm and then frantic Frankenstein” and “the raspy voice of the Creature as he learns to talk, observe, and comment on humans.” His “consummate portrayals” and “terrifying yet heartbreaking” scenes make this an unforgettable listen.
Through the new Student Guide, “Mary Shelley” herself steps forward to share the inspirations, insights, and haunting questions that shaped her revolutionary masterpiece.
Atmospheric, thrilling, and profoundly human, Frankenstein endures as the story that fused science, horror, and soul into one immortal creation—and this new edition will fascinate students, teachers, and Mary Shelley fans alike.
