El Frankenstein de la caja de manzanas es una historia de fantasmas, una novela gótica para jóvenes y una obra de historia alternativa. Tal obra entretejida muestra cómo Mary Shelley, que entonces tenía 19 años, pudo haber encontrado la inspiración para escribir su joya literaria Frankenstein durante esa noche trascendental a las orillas del lago Lemán.La historia permite al lector conocer a la chica unos años antes cuando ella lee un cuento francés publicado en 1790 que presenta un inventor llamado Frankénsteïn y su robot humanoide, e imaginar que la joven curiosa pudo haber descubierto esta gema olvidada entre los manuscritos que pertenecieron a su madre, la célebre escritora Mary Wollstonecraft.Cosido de los resultados de investigación de archivo, El Frankenstein de la caja de manzanas entrelaza un cuento fantástico que puede ser cierto (¡o tal vez no!) e incluye notas históricas y biográficas de los académicos de la Revolución Francesa, Mary Shelley y el emocionante clásico oscuro Frankenstein.
