The diary of Victor Frankenstein - Roscoe Cooper

One of the greatest of all forbidden pleasures is reading another person’s private journal. And when the writer is none other than Victor Frankenstein, the experience becomes mesmerizing. Here, written in his own hand, is the young medical student’s account of his stupendous and horrifying creation: a monster, cobbled together from human flesh.

Here are sketches of friends and family and of the fiend as well. And here too, found amongst the pages, are letters, receipts, and other small documents from a promising life that devolves into nightmare. Compulsively readable and meticulously produced, this volume serves as a testament both to a unique and powerful vision and to the craft of bookmaking.
