Rook Maison is a serial killer. He is a body snatcher. He kills by taking over the bodies of his victims, leaving no blood or weapons at the scene of the crimes. Disillusioned by the loss of his Catholic faith, Rook seeks answers to his unique ability and finds that heaven and hell are not what he was taught to believe. Now, in their way, angels and demons seek to head off the calamity that Rook is quickly becoming because for each body he takes and each soul he breaks, he is becoming more and more Fractured. “A genre defying debut… Fractured will entice those who root for the morally grey and antiheroes, as Rook Maison is a deeply interesting example. A thought‑provoking wild ride… not to be missed. An excellent choice for fans of urban fantasy, historical thrillers, and gothic religious horror. Rook Maison is one hell of a force to be reckoned with.” — Chanticleer Book Reviews, ★★★★★Ver livro
This is a radio play version of Mary Shelley's classic novel, about the scientist Victor Frankenstein who created a monster. Recent biographies of Mary Shelley have pointed to the fact that Mary Shelley's motives for writing her story differ from those the public eventually attributed to it. There is good support for this because Mary Shelley wrote a preface to the 1831 edition of her novel in which she explicitly states this. And the themes she mentions are also present in her less talked about novel, The Last Man. This is an adaptation by Michael Henrik Wynn for the education net radio stream Historyradio.org, and he also narrates and plays the various parts.Ver livro
