Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

Contrary to popular belief, Frankenstein is not the monster. Frankenstein is the scientist that creates the monster. The monster is just the monster, he doesn't have a name. 

Dr. Frankenstein has been a bad scientist. After creating a living being, he flees from his creation in fright. The doctor's life returns to normal until those close to him start to turn up dead.

It's a timeless story and a painless classic.

How does it go? That thing the monster says, was it? ‘…And what of my soul’
It has been so long since I've read it.
