Synopsis

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if the creature we fear most is not born from darkness, but from human ambition left without love?

In Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley creates one of literature’s most haunting visions of creation, responsibility, isolation, and revenge. Written in the spirit of Gothic Romanticism, the novel asks a question that still disturbs the modern world: when knowledge gives us the power to create life, what moral duty follows?

Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, pursues a forbidden dream and brings a living being into existence. But when he recoils from his own creation, wonder turns to abandonment, and abandonment becomes suffering. Across storm-darkened landscapes, frozen wastes, lonely rooms, and desperate confessions, Shelley unfolds a tragedy between creator and creature—each bound to the other by guilt, rage, and an impossible need to be understood.

First published in 1818, Frankenstein remains one of the most influential works in English literature, blending Gothic horror, Romantic philosophy, and early science fiction. Its questions about technology, prejudice, responsibility, and what it means to be human feel more urgent than ever.

This AI-narrated audiobook offers a clear, polished, and immersive listening experience, guiding the listener through Shelley’s atmosphere of dread, beauty, grief, and moral terror with precision and depth.

Enter the laboratory, cross the ice, and hear the story that changed horror, science fiction, and modern myth forever. Begin listening to Frankenstein today.

About Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

The daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft, the ardent feminist and author of A Vindication on the Right of Women, and William Goodwin, the radical-anarchist philosopher and author of Lives of the Necromancers, Mary Goodwin was born into a free-thinking, revolutionary household in London on August 30, 1797. Educated mainly by her intellectual surroundings, she had little formal schooling, and at age sixteen, she eloped with the young poet Percy Bysshe Shelly; they eventually married in 1816.

Mary Shelly's life had many tragic elements: her mother died giving birth to Mary; her half-sister committed suicide; Percy's wife Harriet Shelly drowned herself and her unborn child after he ran off with Mary; William Goodwin disowned Mary and Shelly after the elopement but, heavily in debt, recanted and came to them for money; Mary's first child died soon after its birth; and in 1822 Percy Shelly drowned in the Gulf of La Spezia—Mary was not quite twenty-five then.

Mary did not begin to write seriously until the summer of 1816, when she and Shelly were living in Switzerland, neighbors to Lord Byron. One night following a contest to compose ghost stories, Mary conceived her masterpiece, Frankenstein. After her husband's death, she continued to write, publishing Valperga, The Last Man, Ladore, and Faulkner between 1823 and 1837, in addition to editing Percy's works. In 1838 she began to work on his biography, but due to poor health she completed only a fragment.
