Science Fiction
With the release of Universalβs 1931 movie Frankenstein, the story of Dr. Frankensteinβs monster became an instantly recognizable cultural landmark. In this all-new original novel inspired by the classic fi lm, Stefan Petrucha introduces a new generation of fans to the famous fi end with a new spin on his story. In this take, Henry Frankenstein fl ees to London following his labβs explosion. The monster follows, but winds up being mistaken for a disfi gured mental patient and befriended by local prostitutes. When one of the women is horribly murdered, the creature roams the area, trying to protect the survivors. This brings him in contact with the real killer, Jack the Ripper. Seeing in the reanimated corpse of the monster a possible way to live forever, the aging Ripper schemes to frame him for the killings and force Henry to reveal the secrets of life and death. Petruchaβs lively story and memorable characters make this a riveting read.
