    1st printing.

    By John Stoker.

    The most fascinating story in horror history began in 1818 when Dr. Frankenstein, with the help of Mary Shelley, created his Monster. Since then the Monster has been born again and again on the stage, screen, in magazines, comic books, and in the nightmares of terrified audiences around the world. This immensely informative and entertaining book traces the Frankenstein myth through its most frightening periods, and shows it reaching its widest influence with the eerie yet poignant portrayal of the Monster by Boris Karloff.

    Over 100 photographs, some never before published, illustrate the roles the Monster has played.

    Softcover, 8 -in. x 11-in., 128 pages, B&W.

    Cover price $6.95.
