Modern Horror

Adrian and Delanie Michaels need a new beginning in their marriage. Old grievances have almost buried them. To begin again, they need new scenery. They need a new environment for themselves and their young son, Trey. They never imagined they would be able to afford a home the size of the two-story Victorian they find in an older, upscale Colorado neighborhood. They know the home is newer than those around it, and they know this is because the original home on the site burned to the ground.

Mary Shelley´s FRANKENSTEIN oder: Der moderne Prometheus, gelesen von Ingolf Kloss. Mary Shelleys Frankenstein ist eine erschreckende Vision des wissenschaftlichen Fortschritts ohne moralische Grenzen und führt den Zuhörer auf eine gefährliche Reise von der erhabenen Schönheit der Schweizer Alpen in die trostlose Einöde des Polarkreises. Besessen von der Idee, das Leben selbst zu erschaffen, plündert Victor Frankenstein Friedhöfe und Schlachtereien.

Victor Frankenstein er en ung og ærgerrig videnskabsmand, der drømmer om at skabe sit eget levende væsen - af rester af lig. Han har opdaget, hvordan det kan lade sig gøre og forestiller sig at skabe noget smukt, men sådan går det som bekendt ikke. Han skaber et monster, som han ikke kan holde af, og så går det løs. Monsteret flygter, lever som udstødt og indleder en uhyggelig vendetta for at påkalde sig Frankensteins opmærksomhed. Mary Shelleys klassiske gyser- og science fictionroman fra 1818 foreligger nu i en ny oversættelse af Jakob Levinsen.
