The Frankenstein Legacy follows the book\u2019s evolution into some of cinema and television\u2019s most compelling characters. This\u00a0is the collector\u2019s edition of this guide, in a strictly limited premium edition hardcover format \u2013 <em>only 30 in the world<\/em> \u2013 that comes signed by both authors in a presentation box with a FREE art print, set of postcards and certificate of authenticity!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>LOW SHIPPING RATES WORLDWIDE!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classic-monsters.com\/shop\/product\/frankenstein-legacy-signed-art-print\/\"><span style=\"color: #d3341d; text-decoration: underline;\">The first 250 copies of The Frankenstein Legacy softback edition come signed by the authors and hand-numbered, with a FREE Frankenstein Legacy art print &#8211; click here to view the special edition!<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Two hundred years have passed since Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley unleashed the tale of Victor Frankenstein and his monstrous creation. What started as a holiday storytelling contest with her travelling companions became an enduring, terrifying and truly iconic horror tale whose influence pervades popular culture and continues to inspire fans of the macabre.<\/p>\n<p>The Frankenstein Legacy is an opulent full-colour 86-page guide to the shifting identity of the Frankenstein Monster as it has journeyed from the pages of Shelley\u2019s novel to the many screen interpretations we know and love. The pared-back stage adaptations and early movie versions shocked audiences, and it was not long before Universal focused on the story\u2019s horror potential and, in doing so, made Boris Karloff a star with 1931\u2019s <em>Frankenstein<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The pages of this Frankenstein hardback movie guide are richly illustrated with beautiful, crystal-clear stills &#8211; some rarely seen &#8211; from the golden age of classic horror, showing how the look of the Monster transformed our understanding of the character. As you explore each section of this lavish hardcover publication you\u2019ll see how the movies of Universal shaped the way we see this true classic monster, its presentation in films like <em>Son of Frankenstein<\/em> (1939) giving it a new and more thuggish persona. Soon after, Hammer motion pictures such as <em>The Curse of Frankenstein<\/em> (1957) and <em>Frankenstein Created Woman<\/em> (1967) focused on different elements of the Frankenstein story.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is more to Frankenstein than pure terror. Behind the grotesque artificial being and its awful acts of violence we find a story of misplaced ambition, of the responsibilities of creators for their creations, and the shame of the outcast. These themes have echoed down to the diverse renditions of the Frankenstein story that have thrilled audiences for so long, and our Frankenstein hardback movie guide book is a beautiful way to discover some of the lesser-known productions that brought Shelley\u2019s complex creature to life in so many different ways.<\/p>\n<p>More modern movies like <em>Mary Shelley\u2019s Frankenstein<\/em> (1994) and <em>Victor Frankenstein<\/em> (2015) as well as television series such as Penny Dreadful paid differing homage to this eternal classic. No fan of the Frankenstein story &#8211; whether on the page, the stage or the screen &#8211; should be without this stunning collector\u2019s item limited edition hardback book.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classic-monsters.com\/shop\/product\/frankenstein-legacy-signed-art-print\/\"><span style=\"color: #d3341d; text-decoration: underline;\">Remember, the first 250 copies of The Frankenstein Legacy softback edition come signed by the authors and hand-numbered, with a FREE Frankenstein Legacy art print &#8211; click here to view the special edition!<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><em>Collectors please note: the art print included with this hardback edition is different from the one included with the softback edition.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>84 pages<\/li>\n<li>A4<\/li>\n<li>Full colour throughout<\/li>\n<li>Image wrap hardback cover<\/li>\n<li>Signed by authors and individually numbered<\/li>\n<li>Includes FREE exclusive Frankenstein Legacy art print<\/li>\n<li>Includes FREE exclusive postcard set<\/li>\n<li>Includes certificate of authenticity<\/li>\n<li>Packaged in tissue-lined luxury presentation box<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This item is now sold out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14402,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[443],"product_tag":[442,441],"class_list":{"0":"post-13367","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-retired-products","7":"product_tag-out-of-stock","8":"product_tag-sold-out","10":"first","11":"outofstock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
