Synopsis

'He stretched out his two long, lank arms, that looked like spider's claws, and seemed to embrace with them the expanse before him'

A monstrous creature, shipwrecked by a ferocious storm, offers him unimaginable wealth to exchange bodies, entwining their fates. Transformation, with two further tales of striking and eerie power here, shows how Mary Shelley haunts us still.
