About this listen

In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris and horror.

Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot, Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool) delivers a haunting performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel.

If you’re in the mood for more gothic classics, check out Dracula performed by Himesh Patel, Patricia Alilson, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Theo James and Jason Watkins and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde performed by Paapa Essiedu.

That’s all I can say, didn’t like the old ways of talking, I know Mary Shelly’s wrote this in 1818 ish not my cup of tea

I’ve never actually seen any Frankenstein film, although of course I’m familiar with the popular image. This original book is quite different to that; the creature is not made out of dead body parts, the doctor is not a mad scientist.

The story starts kind of slow, going through Frankenstein’s life up to when he creates the creature. The point I feel it really got interesting was when the narration of the creature’s story starts, from then on it’s interesting.

Slow start but good once it gets into it

Amazing! I wish I'd had this narration when I did my A level. A book I have loved for many years, brought to life again by Jamie Bell .

Great Narration
