Sinossi

A writer finds his rural English life disrupted by the arrival of mysterious doctor with a legendary past in this bold and chilling sequel to Frankenstein, written in the style of Mary Shelley's classic.
From the author of Dracula's Child. Perfect for fans of Kim Newman and Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
"He was soon borne away by the waves, and lost in darkness and distance."
There are those who would swear that Victor Frankenstein is dead. Those who would swear that his Creature died also.
They are wrong.
1842. Folklorist Nathaniel Greene escapes to the country to finish his latest book, along with his wife, Alice. Yearning for a family, and yet finding herself without, Alice watches as Greene grows ever more distant with her, fraying their already tense bonds. When a mysterious stranger arrives on their doorstep, bedraggled and delirious, Alice welcomes him in, finding herself seduced by the promises he makes.
1850. In Newgate prison, Nathaniel Greene stands accused of murder. Philanthropist Jesse Malone and psychic Hubert Crowe are determined to understand what happened, but the story Greene has to tell is almost unbelievable: one of monstrous, impossible creations made in an outhouse laboratory.
To uncover the truth behind Greene's bizarre claims, the two investigators must delve into a terrifying world where the men play God once more, and the ghosts of the past appear to be alive and vengeful.
In this visionary sequel to Mary Shelley's peerless classic, old experiments resume, new mysteries arise, and the true question of mankind's morality is tested once more.

    A researcher goes on an expedition to find "The Tablets of the Gods" which have plagued his dreams since his boyhood. He finds them, and the horrible truth of humanity's true purpose in the universe. This story, "The Man Who Found Out" is an example to me of pure cosmic horror in that the horror comes totally from knowledge which is (in-story) so terrible that it forever blights the minds of anyone who discovers it. Two highly intelligent and well informed men, Professor Ebor and then Dr. Laidlaw, learn the contents of the Tablets of the Gods, and even though this information is short enough to be on two ordinary-sized tablets, it is enough to induce absolute belief in its veracity and utterly destroy hope in the reader. Yeah, that is pretty scary. There are no monsters in the tale, nothing but Forbidden Knowledge -- which, apparently, is Forbidden with good reason
