Frankenstein: The Complete Screenplay cover

Frankenstein, directed by Guillermo del Toro, delves deep into the timeless tragedy of Victor Frankenstein—from his grisly experiments and the destruction wrought in their wake to his quest for redemption in the frigid Arctic—in this unforgettable reimagining of one of the most iconic literary works of all time.

Featuring stunning concept art, film stills, and behind-the-scenes photography, this official reproduction of the film’s complete screenplay invites readers into del Toro’s world as the classic story was adapted for the screen. With nuanced character development and poignant dialogue, the script brings fresh life to Shelley’s tale, exploring like never before the fractured relationship between creator and creation. From the tormented Victor Frankenstein to his tragic monster, del Toro’s unique artistic voice shines through every page, offering an immersive experience for fans of both the original novel and del Toro’s cinematic genius

"A deluxe bound version of del Toro's unexpurgated screenplay accompanied by concept art, set photography, and stills from the film." –Marcus Errico, Gold Derby
“I hand you this, the fruit of a lifetime of hope, decades of dreaming, and years of tough, unyielding labor at the desk. I let the fire – this Promethean fire – fly from my hands into yours.” 
–GUILLERMO DEL TORO, from his introduction to Frankenstein: The Complete Screenplay
