Frankenstein

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Alternate cover edition of ISBN-13: ‎978-0141439471 / ISBN-10: 0141439475 'Now that I had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart ...' Obsessed with creating life itself, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, which he shocks into life with electricity. But his botched creature, rejected by Frankenstein and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy his maker and all that he holds dear. Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale was conceived when she was only eighteen, living with her lover Percy Shelley near Byron's villa on Lake Geneva. It would become the world's most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity. Based on the third edition of 1831, this volume contains all the revisions Mary Shelley made to her story, as well as her 1831 introduction and Percy Bysshe Shelley's preface to the first edition. This revised edition includes as appendices a select collation of the texts of 1818 and 1831 together with 'A Fragment' by Lord Byron and Dr John Polidori's 'The Vampyre: A Tale'.

Creepy crawling vines, sentient mushrooms, or a killer forest; no matter what shape they take, plants and fungi play a main part in these horror novels.

Our Hideous Progeny

C.E. McGill

It is not the monster you must fear, but the monster it makes of men. . . For readers of Circe or Ariadne, a brilliant literary revisiting of Mary Shelley's classic Frankenstein with a fresh, queer, provocative twist. Mary is the great-niece of Victor Frankenstein. She knows her great uncle disappeared in mysterious circumstances in the Arctic, but she doesn't know why or how... The 1850s is a time of discovery, and London is ablaze with the latest scientific theories and debates, especially when a spectacular new exhibition of dinosaur sculptures opens at the Crystal Palace. Mary, with a sharp mind and a sharper tongue, is keen to make her name in this world of science alongside her geologist husband Henry, but without wealth and connections, their options are limited. But when Mary discovers some old family papers that allude to the shocking truth behind her great-uncle's past, she thinks she may have found the key to securing their future... Their quest takes them to the wilds of Scotland, to Henry's intriguing but reclusive sister Maisie, and to a deadly chase with a rival who is out to steal their secret. Our Hideous Progeny is a sumptuous tale of ambition and obsession, of forbidden love and sabotage; an adventure story that blends classic, immersive storytelling with contemporary themes.

I miss pagebound club in my home feed

First of all, thanks for creating this space on the internet! Pagebound feels more and more like a safe place of refuge, the app and page I turn to when real life and the other internet spaces gets a little too much.

I suddenly realized I hadn't seen any posts from the Pagebound club in a long while, but then I remembered not seeing posts from the club in the home feed being part of an update some time ago.

So, fully aware that you might go mad from always having people wanting different things, and sorry about that, I just wanted to voice the suggestion of letting users choose themselves whether to see posts from the club in their home feed or not. I would really like to, at least. (And sorry if there are other posts about this already!)

I really appreciate the discussions not directly related to single books, so I'll try to remember checking in on the club myself as well. And of course there are more important features to prioritize than this one.

Thanks again for making this space, and thanks to everyone for making it a pleasure to stop by :)

The Complete Chronicles of Narnia

C.S. Lewis

Journeys to the end of the world, fantastic creatures, and epic battles between good and evil—what more could any reader ask for in one book? The book that has it all is The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, written in 1949 by Clive Staples Lewis. But Lewis did not stop there. Six more books followed, and together they became known as The Chronicles of Narnia. For the past fifty years, The Chronicles of Narnia have transcended the fantasy genre to become part of the canon of classic literature. Each of the seven books is a masterpiece, drawing the reader into a land where magic meets reality, and the result is a fictional world whose scope has fascinated generations. This edition presents all seven books—unabridged—in one impressive volume. The books are presented here in chronlogical order, each chapter graced with an illustration by the original artist, Pauline Baynes. Deceptively simple and direct, The Chronicles of Narnia continue to captivate fans with adventures, characters, and truths that speak to readers of all ages, even fifty years after they were first published.

Content warnings system?

Hey y'all! I found this from an ad on social media, which I'm sure most of you can relate to, and hearing "no Amazon, no AI", is what really sold me. When Storygraph was new and hadn't caved to AI slop, what really sold me on them wasn't just the "no amazon" factor, but they also had a built in system for listing what potentially triggering content was in a book. I, for one, hate when I'm reading a really good book, and then BOOM, SA or child abuse. I've DNF'ed many books because I'll be really into the story and loving the characters, but then the whole thing just becomes about SA. I know there are many stories where that is a main part of the plot, but it's something I prefer to avoid, and I'm hoping that a content warning system something like the one SG utilizes will become part of the Page Bound reality sometime soon! It's been wonderful to see it becoming more prevalent in the reading world, and even in the front of some books!

TL;DR- Will we get a content warning system at all in the future?
