NBC Short Story Frankenstein

English · Science Fiction, Gothic Fiction, Dramatic Readings

This title identifies a radio presentation of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley’s story of Victor Frankenstein and the creature he brings to life. The familiar tale explores the consequences of ambition, isolation, and the desire for companionship.

As an NBC short-story program, this recording offers the story in a radio dramatic format, using spoken performance and sound to bring the narrative to listeners. Its focus is the adaptation of Shelley’s work rather than a modern audiobook reading.

The gothic premise and moral unease make for an atmospheric listen, with the tension arising from the creator’s choices and the creature’s place in the world.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
