Frankenstein (Adapted): Great Stories: Intermediate

One dark, stormy night in 1816, in Geneva, Switzerland, a small group of English poets and writers decided to tell ghost stories by candlelight. Challenged to write an original ghost story, 18-year-old Mary Shelley created the story of Victor Frankenstein and the monster he brought to life.

This version of one of the most famous horror stories in the world has been adapted for intermediate English language learners and includes vocabulary support, notes on the story, and critical thinking and discussion questions.
