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
Hard to listen to
Like others have said, the narration is very robotic, choppy and monotone. There are no voice changes for different characters.
Save yourself the hassle
Save your energy and do not click “get” icon for this audiobook.
The narrator ruined one of my favourite books with his cadence. Even at 0.75 speed it was too fast. Didn’t finished the audiobook.
Glad it was free or I would have asked for my money back.
Fire Narrator
The narrator should have been replaced.
