Review Roundup
Gris Grimly's adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein draws praise for its gothic and evocative illustrations, appealing to both young adults and fans of classic horror. However, some critics suggest that the abridged text dilutes the original narrative's complexity and depth. Overall, it's a visually compelling entry point to Shelley's tale.
Who Should Read Gris Grimly's Frankenstein?
Readers who relish Gothic literature and evocative illustrations would find Gris Grimly's Frankenstein by Mary Shelley captivating. Comparable to fans of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book or Tim Burton's The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories, this graphic novel blends classic horror with dark, whimsical art.
