What is the difference between 'Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus' and 'Frankenstein: The 1818 Text'? I wanted to buy 'Frankenstein' the penguin classics copy, but I saw these two and I'm confused. What's the difference? They're both set as written by Mary Shelly. it says that it "It also includes "A Fragment" by Lord Byron and Dr John Polidori's "The Vampyre: A Tale."". Is that like the only difference? Which should I buy if I only care about the story? What does 'it also includes as appendices a select collation of the texts of 1818 and 1831' mean? Help me out, I'm very confused.
