Gris Grimly's Frankenstein
Gris Grimly's Frankenstein | Mary Shelley
14 posts | 15 read | 17 to read
"Grimly enlivens the prose while retaining its power to both frighten and engage sympathy for the monster-creator Victor Frankenstein. This is a richly morose nightmare of a book, a primer for young readers on the pleasures and dangers of decadent languidness." New York Times Book ReviewGris Grimly's Frankenstein is a twisted, fresh, and utterly original full-length, full-color graphic-novel adaptation of Mary Shelley's original text, brought to life by acclaimed illustrator Gris Grimly. The first fully illustrated version to use the original 1818 text, this handsome volume is destined to capture the imagination of those new to the story as well as those who know it well.New York Times bestselling illustrator Gris Grimly has long considered Frankenstein to be one of his chief inspirations. From the bones and flesh of the original, he has cut and stitched Mary Shelley's text to his own artwork, creating something entirely new: a stunningly original remix, both classic and contemporary, sinister and seductive, heart-stopping and heartbreaking."

Totally not jealous. This is my sister by the way. Imagine finding out one of your favorite authors/illustrators took up shop in your grandma‘s previous workspace. So cool. I wish I could of been there.

A solid graphic novel adaptation that remained true to the spirit of the original, if not to the letter. 🌟🌟🌟🌟#screamathon

Wow - I will admit I have never read the classic and although this is abridged and a graphic novel - wow what a story. So beautifully designed and full.
