GRIS GRIMLY'S FRANKENSTEIN

A twisted, fresh, and utterly original graphic adaptation of the classic work of gothic horror, brought to life by none other than gothic horror’s modern master: Gris Grimly.

You know the story, but you have never seen it like this.

Gris Grimly, New York Time bestselling-illustrator, has long considered Mary Shelley’s classic tale of terror to be one of his greatest inspirations. Now, he is paying homage to it with a lavishly illustrated full-length adaptation. Using an abridged version of the original text, Gris is adorning each page with illustrations, creating a world inside a book that is part graphic novel, part prose novel, and all vintage Gris Grimly. The result is a version of the tale unlike any that has ever been seen before, on the page or in the theater - a frightfully fresh version of the tale that is at once classic and contemporary, and one that could only be experienced in this form.

The final package will be an experience that is graphic, tactile, frightening, and exhilarating, a staggering work of twisted genius from one of children’s books’ most unique talents.

Gris Grimly is a filmmaker and fine artist, but considers himself first and foremost a children’s book illustrator. Some of his titles include Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Madness and Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Death and Dementia, both of which are adapted from Poe’s original text, as well as Neil Gaiman’s bestselling picture book The Dangerous Alphabet. Currently, he is directing a buzzed-about animated version of Pinocchio, which is being produced by Guillermo Del Toro. He lives in Los Angeles.
