The Mammoth Book of Frankenstein

Amy Maddess

The stories in this are quite varied and all relate to central themes in Mary Shelley’s original Frankenstein in different ways. Some play on the theme of loneliness while others are just a gore fest. Some are modern while others are classic and the span of writers is *somewhat diverse. All of the stories play on creation or re-creation of the dead and I was hooked by every one. (I didn’t read the very last one called The Dead End and I can’t remember the authour. I had to lend the book to my Dad when I saw him before finishing because he lives far away and I wanted him to have it. Sigh. Someday.)

Update: I read The Dead End and it wasn’t that exciting. All that anticipation for nothing.
