Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Historia
During the rainy summer of 1816, the "Year Without a Summer", the world was locked in a long cold volcanic winter caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815. Mary Shelley, aged 18, and her lover (and later husband) Percy Bysshe Shelley, visited Lord Byron at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The weather was consistently too cold and dreary that summer to enjoy the outdoor holiday activities they had planned, so the group retired indoors until dawn.

Historia
"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of 30 million souls, to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet.

Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life; indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his decadence. The novel was a succès de scandale, and the book was later used as evidence against Wilde at the Old Bailey in 1895. It has lost none of its power to fascinate and disturb.

But Aubrey develops a growing distaste for Lord Ruthven’s sinister and grotesque conduct - especially as it concerns human blood. This novella, penned during that tempestuous night in Switzerland amongst such notables as Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, and Mary Shelley, served as the great inspiration for Bram Stoker to create Dracula.

The Monk is a violent tale of ambition, murder, and incest. The great struggle between maintaining monastic vows and fulfilling personal ambitions leads the monk Ambrosio, into temptation and the breaking of his vows, then to sexual obsession and rape, and finally to murder in order to conceal his guilt. Written when Matthew Lewis was only 19, The Monk was criticised when first published in 1796 for its lewdness and impiety, but this criticism only added to its popularity.

Historia
An unprecedented historical and literary event, this tale written in the 1850s is the only known novel by a female African American slave, and quite possibly the first novel written by a black woman anywhere. A work recently uncovered by renowned scholar and professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., it is a stirring tale of "passing" and the adventures of a young slave as she makes her way to freedom.

This dark psychological fantasy is more than a moral tale. It is also a product of its time, drawing on contemporary theories of class, evolution and criminality, and the secret lives behind Victorian propriety, to create a unique form of urban Gothic.

Historia
Edgar Allan Poe elevated the gothic story, developed the unreliable narrator, recast psychological terror, and reveled in both the horror and the supernal beauty of death. From Poe's rich, unrivaled imagination comes a collection of his most masterful works, including "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", and, of course, "The Tell-Tale Heart". Each story explores morbid themes of grief, greed, fear, and guilt, and together they embody Poe's grotesque obsessions...even the dread of being buried alive.

Historia
Starring Orson Welles, Anges Moorehead, and Ray Collins, The Count of Monte Cristo is a tale of revenge and retribution. Edmond Dantès, a young, energetic sailor, is falsely accused of treason on his wedding day and incarcerated in the forbidding Château d'If. His escape and ultimate revenge on those who wronged him makes this one of the most thrilling stories in French literature, as compelling now as when it was first published in 1846.

A great story and excellent narrator
Kenneth Branagh bring this classic tale to life! (slight Frankenstein pun...) Excellent. If you like this also try Branagh's version of Conrad's Heart of Darkness.

Brilliant!
Would you listen to Frankenstein again? Why?
Absolutely! To me, it is a not about the classic tale of terror but its underlying story of both the beauty and tenderness of the human heart and the consequence of mankind's tendency towards prejudice and fear of the unknown.
What other book might you compare Frankenstein to and why?
Not sure. In my mind, Frankenstein stands in a category of its own. However, I did appreciate the literary thoughtfulness with which this tale was written. To me, the story and language is both poetic and eloquent.
What does Kenneth Branagh bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
As soon as I found out there was a version of one of my favourite novels (Frankenstein) that was read by my favourite Shakespeare actor of all time, I immediately downloaded it--no need to preview! As usual, Branagh did NOT disappoint :). Although I admit I may be somewhat biased (he's one of my favourite actors of all time), I think you'll agree, Branagh can tell a tale like few others!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I just closed my eyes and let Branagh tell this classic tale.
Any additional comments?
Buy it.

Excellent Narration
Branagh manages to bring a life and warmth and richness to Victor that -due to the antiquated prose and radically different world we now inhabit- would be sadly lacking from a simple read through an din so doing brings it immediately and rawly to the listener's attention. We sympathize with the creature and Victor while being torn by Victor's inability to take responsibility for, or feel pity or empathy towards the creature while simultaneously being repulsed and frustrated by the creature's interactions with humanity and the violence and horror he wreaks in response. For anyone facing the daunting task of wading through this comparatively short book in written form I would urge and encourage taking the audio route instead, particularly this version. Note, that this *is* the abridged version.

Who Is The Real Monster?
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Why even read the book? I assumed I knew the story after it being barfed up into multiple movies over the course of a hundred years. You know what they say about assumptions. This was a true delight for me to discover the story behind the monster. It was beautifully narrated and at times extremely chilling. But even better than that, it was very thought provoking. A must listen for all classic and horror fans alike.
What did you like best about this story?
Even though most of the medical elements of the story have actually become reality it was so exciting to think about what it must have felt like to be able to have that kind of power at your hands. To know that you can bring life to something that has been dead. It's exciting at first, but then is it really our place to decide who lives and who dies?
Which scene was your favorite?
I will always hold on to the scene where Frankenstein runs out on his creation. It was a moment of clarity for him. He was full of fear and disgust at what he had done and, in that moment, I felt for him.
Any additional comments?
Kenneth Branagh's narration is fantastic (I think I could listen to him give lectures on the most boring subjects and I would be fully interested) and the story was more exciting than I thought it would be. It's refreshing to listen to a story that will scare you without all the gore and porn that some newer stories feel the need to add. While not a white-knuckled thriller, it will certainly give you something to haunt you.

Abridged
What disappointed you about Frankenstein?
I didn't realize this was an abridged version. The heart of the story, nearly all of the monster's narration, is missing.
What was most disappointing about Mary Shelley’s story?
Couldn't even differentiate between Branagh's "monster" and Frankenstein.
Any additional comments?
If you are a fan of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, don't bother.

Frankenstein
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was great. I preferred the Narrator, Kenneth Branaugh's voice more than other narrated voices reviewed. This is a great book and an enjoyable audio experience.
This was my first experience with Audible.com. It was quick and easy. I downloaded onto CD, and I'll definately use this resource in the future.

Frankenstein is a classic...
Of the classics, the monster stories are my favorite so this story is a shoe-in for best listens of the year.
However, something about the combination of the accent and tenseness of the voice made this version just a tad more difficult to ‘hang onto’ as I was listening; my mind kept wandering after a few minutes of listening. Kenneth Branagh’s performance is wonderfully spot-on, but there was something about it that I can’t quite put my finger on, that made the whole story sound like a long drawn out soliloquy. Yes, we can argue that the whole story is a first person narrative, but the thing about soliloquies is that if they go on too long they tend to get monotonous. Because of this I felt that I needed to give this a four star somewhere in the ratings, but it was difficult to determine what aspect to short a star. Technically the story is a 5, the performance was very believable and also a 5, and those combined should equal and overall of 5. But because I don’t feel as though I could listen to the whole performance straight through, I took a star away in that area.

Branagh is fabulous!
Somehow I didn’t realize this was Kenneth Branagh until more than halfway through, but wow I’ll definitely be seeking out other things read by him. I mean he’s fantastic by reputation, obviously, but also legitimately a great reader / voice performer.
I’ve read Frankenstein before and it was much less sensational than I’d remembered. I docked the story a star because for a general audience this might not be very exciting. It’s flashback wrapped in epistolary writing, so much of the action is described rather than “lived.” But for anyone interested in the period / period science, materiality, dualism, revenge plots, gothic, or horror, this is a must-read.
