In the Shadow of Frankenstein: Tales of the Modern Prometheus
In the Shadow of Frankenstein: Tales of the Modern Prometheus | Stephen Jones
The most infamous doctor of the Gothic Era once again delves into the forbidden secrets of the world, when literature's most famous creature lives again... Frankenstein... His very name conjures up images of plundered graves, secret laboratories, electrical experiments, and reviving the dead. Within these pages, the maddest doctor of them all and his demented disciples once again delve into the Secrets of Life, as science fiction meets horror when the world's most famous creature lives again. Here are collected together for the first time twenty-four electrifying tales of cursed creation that are guaranteed to spark your interestwith classics from the pulp magazines by Robert Bloch and Manly Wade Wellman, modern masterpieces from Ramsey Campbell, Dennis Etchison, Karl Edward Wagner, David J. Schow, and R. Chetwynd-Hayes, and new contributions from Graham Masterson, Basil Copper, John Brunner, Guy N. Smith, Kim Newman, Paul J. McAuley, Roberta Lannes, Michael Marshall Smith, Daniel Fox, Adrian Cole, Nancy Kilpatrick, Brian Mooney and Lisa Morton. Plus, you're sure to get a charge from three complete novels: The Hound of Frankenstein by Peter Tremayne, The Dead End by David Case, and Mary W. Shelley's original masterpiece Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. As an electrical storm rages overhead, the generators are charged up, and beneath the sheet a cold form awaits its miraculous rebirth. Now it's time to throw that switch and discover all that Man Was Never Meant to Know.

Just so that everyone knows, this book was an updated and revised edition of "The Mammoth Book of Frankenstein.

Find a copy of this and be amazed how modern authors have taken Shelley's theme and made it their own.

BookishFeminist *I just got this out from the library* great minds! 😂 I'm currently researching Frankenstein for a project and thought this would be great to see modern takes on it. I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts on it!! 7y
quirkyreader @BookishFeminist are you going to re-read the version of Frankenstein in this collection? 7y

Just in time for Halloween! Every year I read my favorite book, Frankenstein, for Halloween. This year I'm shaking things up a bit by reading stories inspired by Frankenstein!
