Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus
Young adult · ages 12–18 · 1180L · 2012
A genuinely haunting exploration of responsibility, isolation, and monstrosity that holds up—the creature is more eloquent and sympathetic than Victor, and that inversion lands harder on a reread.
Frankenstein
Young adult · ages 13–18 · 1220L · 1818
Dense 19th-century prose and frame-story structure demand patient readers, but the creature's own voice is one of literature's great moral achievements—genuinely unsettling not for gore but for questions about creation, worth, and cruelty.
