Frankenstein Art Novel - Electric Oak Art Cover

For those unafraid to embrace darkness, and for lovers of Gothic and Romantic literature, we bring you Mary Shelley’s haunting masterpiece as you have never seen it before. Featuring Electrified Oak (2023) by artist Sam Gulliver, this haunting cyanotype channels lightning through timber, blurring the lines between nature and machine. A commentary on the uneasy collaboration between organic life and artificial intelligence, it is one of over sixty bespoke artworks created exclusively for the Frankenstein Art Novel™. This Art Novel expands upon the original text with annotations for both the modern reader and the classic intellectual. A curated fine art collection adorns the pages with over 60 large scale images of contemporary fine artworks created for this publication. In 1818, Frankenstein broke ground by creating space for its readers to interrogate the morals of the day’s emerging sciences. We participate in that tradition by providing a contemporary examination of humankind’s quest for knowledge, the role of women in this strange new world, and the hope and rage of society’s most ostracized. As a result, the Frankenstein Art Novel introduces readers to Mary Shelley’s haunting tale of life and death with an emphasis on nature and feminine power.
