The novel by Mary Shelley in 1818, a pioneering work of science fiction, obtained a special outing of link with the monster of Jacob Elordi, a strangely glamorous monster adorning the cover.

Frankenstein Of course, has been adapted several times over the years, with the universal images of Boris Karloff operating as the monster providing the most indelible visual. The Frankenstein monster (or “Frankenstein” if you do not bother you inaccuracy) has long since become an established part of the creature’s pantheon, adorning Halloween decorations and emerging in the theme of Universal.

An edition linked to an old book with a new adaptation – which is by no means a new idea; Other recent examples have seen Wicked And The long walk Get new shiny blankets inspired by their respective films – it can cringe new fans, but it makes sense. What if Elordi’s face (strongly invented) gets an occasional consumer to read a literary classic, isn’t that the best possible result?

It is also delivered with an introduction by Del Toro, offering additional incitement.

Here is the complete cover, which reproduces the new poster of the film revealed earlier during the day.
