Frankenstein has been, and still is, considered one of the greatest horror novels of all time. Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus was written by Mary Shelley and was originally published anonymously in 1818. Mary’s name finally appeared on the second edition, when it was published in France in 1823. The story tells of a brilliant scientist who creates a creature and the subsequent events that follow. What many don’t realize about the novel is that Frankenstein is not actually the name of the creature, but of the man who invented the creature, thus causing a great deal of confusion once people start reading. Let’s have a look at several of the covers of Frankenstein, to see if any actually clear up the confusion. Be warned, spoilers may lie ahead.
