Frankenstein — Reimagined Cover

This reimagined cover for Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein reframes the novel’s themes of creation, monstrosity, and fragility through a hauntingly minimal visual. A stitched face emerges from the darkness, partially hidden, its surface fractured by the impact of a spiderweb crack across the cover. The shattered glass symbolizes both the creature’s fractured identity and society’s violent rejection of what it does not understand.

The design speaks to the duality at the heart of Shelley’s masterpiece: the tension between humanity and monstrosity, science and morality, creation and destruction. With stark contrasts and a focus on fragmentation, it captures the novel’s enduring relevance in discussions of technology, identity, and belonging.
