YASteampunk series.
Illustrated by
Zdenko Basic
&
Manuel Sumberac.
Stark illustrations featuring shadowed landscapes, silhouetted figures, roiling clouds, eerie mists, and, of course, omnipresent gears give a new steampunk flavor to this unabridged version of Shelley's gothic tale. Precise detail and sharply contrasting tones help make the illustrations mysteriously chilling. The elegant design and high-quality production values will help increase the appeal of this classic story to new readers.
