Publisher Description
The classic tale of men and their monsters is narrated by the host of the spooky Lore podcast.
First published in 1818, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is frequently credited as the first-ever science fiction novel. Her supernatural thriller—about a brilliant scientist who attempts to create a life and ends up destroying countless others—has become a cultural touchstone, sparking 200 years of conversations about human hubris and the unintended consequences of scientific experimentation.
This Apple Books exclusive features Aaron Mahnke reading Shelley’s astonishing tale of men and their monsters. Mahnke—host and creator of the hit podcast Lore (which has been adapted into books and a TV show)—knows a thing or two about scary stories. He’s the perfect narrator for this spooky, unexpectedly heartbreaking classic.
Customer Reviews
Very poor naration
The narrator sounds like AI.
Terrible reader
Listened to the forward. It was so painful I could go no further. So many inappropriate pauses. Horrible way to experience such a classic work. I’m off to find a better production.
Hard to listen to
Like others have said, the narration is very robotic, choppy and monotone. There are no voice changes for different characters.
