For those unafraid to embrace darkness, the lovers of Gothic and Romantic literature, we bring you Mary Shelley's haunting masterpiece as you have never seen it before. Adorned with intricate paper sculpture The Meeting in the Mountains from South African Artist, Barbara Wildenboer, 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.

“I received the Frankenstein Art Novel as a housewarming gift and it makes for a unique focal point and conversation starter within my home. Between the original art, striking design details, and caring craftsmanship - I’ve never received a gift quite like it!”
“The Art Novel marries the appeal and beauty of a coffee table book with the joy of reading classic literature.”
“As a woman working in the book industry, it’s a genuine pleasure to come across a treasure like Bond & Grace. A publishing house run by women is not something you find every day in our world, and the editions they put out more than do justice to this mantle. Their books are thoughtful, scholarly, and absolutely stunning to behold. I consider them to be investment pieces, to be passed down from one generation to the next.”
“The whole Art Novel experience was wonderful. Gazing at the art was pure heaven. My favorite aspect was the annotations. I learned so much thanks to how insightful they were.”
Bond & Grace Art Novels are intentionally designed to provide an immersive reading experience, with innovative and visually stunning elements that enhance the unique atmosphere of the title novel. From Victor Frankenstein’s letters which appear on textured paper in handwritten font, to acid green spores that signal chaos and madness, this Art Novel serves as a portal into the awe-inspiring world of Frankenstein.
