Mary Shelley's Frankenstein : a retelling / by Tanya Landman.

A young man's search for the secret of the spark of life leads him to a horrific experiment in which he creates a gigantic creature from dismembered body parts. Rejected by his creator, the initially gentle creature turns monstrous when his desire to find companionship and love are thwarted. Tanya Landman revisits Mary Shelley's classic Gothic horror story, bringing to life Dr Frankenstein and his monstrous creation in an accessible format that more readers can enjoy.

Following Frankenstein / Catherine Bruton.

Sometimes I was jealous of the monster of Frankenstein. I grew up believing my father cared more for him than he did for me. And was I wrong? Maggie Walton's father has dedicated his life to a single pursuit: hunting down the monster created by Victor Frankenstein. It has cost Maggie and her family everything - and now her father is staking everything on one last voyage to the Arctic, with Maggie secretly in tow, where he hopes to find the monster at last. But there they make a shocking discovery: Frankenstein's monster has a son.

Mary Shelley's forgotten masterpiece, this novel describes how the world was devastated by plague, leaving just a single survivor to chronicle the disaster. Written long before its time, 'The Last Man' left Georgian readers bemused, but is recognised today as the forerunner of an entirely new genre of apocalyptic horror.
