Frankenstein

"His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath his hair was of a lustrous black and flowing his teeth of a pearly whiteness but his watery eyes seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set." Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus is an 1818 novel written by English author Mary Shelley (1797?1851) that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. The novel is constructed as a series of first-person narratives delivered by Captain Robert Walton Victor Frankenstein and his Creature which makes it perfect for a dramatic reading.
