With the release of Universal’s
1931 movie Frankenstein, the
story of Dr. Frankenstein’s 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 lab’s 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. Petrucha’s lively story and
memorable characters make this a
riveting read.
