Critic Reviews
"Narrator Edoardo Ballerini tackles this 1818 classic novel written by Mary Shelley when at age 18 she was challenged to write a ghost story. Framing the story as a recollection of past events, Dr. Victor Frankenstein tells arctic sea captain Robert Walton of his childhood in Geneva, his creation of a monster while he was a student in Ingolstadt, and the tragedies that followed. Speaking overall in a British accent, Ballerini flavors Dr. Frankenstein’s accounts with a Germanic lilt that almost goes unnoticed. Ballerini’s fevered and theatrical delivery matches the antiquated words penned by Shelley and conveys the emotional anguish of the main characters. With his dramatic inflections, Ballerini’s delivery is reminiscent of Vincent Price’s captivating cadence."
