Ethereal Visions Publishing Announces New Illuminated Edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
Taking a step back from the well known and beloved Hollywood version of Mary Shelley’s groundbreaking creation, this edition of Frankenstein will approach the story of the creator’s original concept of Frankenstein’s Monster - a self-reflection of the darker side of Victor and, therefore, the reader.
Woodstock, GA, February 15, 2019 --(PR.com)-- What began as a competition among friends, lovers and Romantic poets resulted in a dream that inspired one of the classic novels of English literature.
While traveling through Switzerland at the tender age of 18 with her future husband Percy Shelley and Lord Byron, Mary Shelley won the friendly competition to write the best horror story. Mary dreamt about a scientific experiment gone wrong at Germany’s Frankenstein castle, which she visited just days before, and the resulting story evolved into an iconic novel of the Romantic era.
Ethereal Visions Publishing features the artistry of Matt Hughes, and has created a collectible edition of the 1818 novel that is sure to become a treasured family heirloom.
This edition of Frankenstein approaches the story of Mary Shelley’s original concept of Frankenstein’s Monster - a self-reflection of the darker side of Victor Frankenstein and, therefore, the reader. Each chapter header is illustrated, and four hand tipped-in color plates reveal the journey of the monster from conception to birth to self-awareness and finally to the acceptance of mortality and solitude.
“I wanted my art to reflect this journey that both the character of Victor Frankenstein and the reader take together,” said artist Matt Hughes of Ethereal Visions Publishing.
Never before has such an artistic interpretation of this character been produced. This edition will be the first in a three part series focusing on the creators of what we today call horror - the next volume will be an illuminated edition of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
