This First Printing is Slipping into the Dark

Fewer than 250 copies of the first printing of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein remain.

Angela Barrett’s ominous illustrations stalk the pages of this Folio, each framed in elaborate black-and-white borders, all joined by an introduction from award-winning biographer Richard Holmes, who unearths the thrilling scientific spark and the cultural aftershocks of the novel.
