Le livre est considéré, en outre, comme le dernier roman gothique et comme l'un des tout premiers romans de science-fiction. Il raconte l'histoire d'un «savant fou», Victor Frankenstein, qui, par ambition démesurée, en vient à créer un être humain à partir de cadavres et d'une «étincelle de vie». Ce sera, hélas, le point de départ de nombreux malheurs.
