I went into these pages not having any familiarity with Mr. Tullius. The stories are quick and very involved with the first person narrative of the author acting the part in each offering. I am going to be exploring Mark Tullius further and am looking forward to reading his work in true novel form...the short stories being so intriguing that I have to imagine his "full length " work will be quite the adventure. - Dahne1004Let the nightmares begin.

Frankenstein

Mary Shelley

Far from its popular image, the story of Frankenstein as told by Mary Shelley is not a tale that finds horror in a hideous "monster" or a "crazed" scientist. The darkness in the narrative is found in the profound loneliness of both Creator and Created as they seek one another in a tragic cycle of unfulfilled longing and revenge. 
This powerful novel, first published in 1818, still surprises and shocks us with the fundamental questions about the moral boundaries of human discovery and helps us to question what it means to be human.

Monster - A Novel of Frankenstein

Dave Zeltserman

In this “ingenious interpretation of Shelley’s tale,” Dr. Frankenstein’s monster contends with vampyres, a Satanic cult, and the Marquis de Sade (Historical Novel Society).   Framed for the murder of his fiancée, Friedrich Hoffmann is sentenced to death. Broken on the wheel in front of a jeering crowd, he awakens on a lab table, transformed into an abomination. Disoriented, he begins to piece together where he is, what’s become of him, and the identity of the unholy man responsible for his monstrous plight.   Friedrich must go far to take his revenge—only to find his tormentor, Victor Frankenstein, in league with the Marquis de Sade, at work on an even more sinister creation deep in the mountains. Paranormal and gripping in the tradition of Stephen King and Justin Cronin, Monster is a gruesome parable of control and vengeance, and a tribute to one of literature’s greatest legends.  “An impressive achievement . . . You don’t get much more gothic bang for your buck.” —Los Angles Times
