Frankenstein: The Legacy

Rating:
Summary: A New Vies of Shelley
Review: At last someone had the guts to write a contemporary Dracula without the silly bite in the neck, stake in the heart theme. Congratulations, Schildt! We hope to see many more just like this. I liked "Frankenstein: The Legacy," but this one is even better.

Summary: A Modern Gothic Classic
Review: The author does a great job of capturing Mary Shelley's style and gives us a modern day tale that is both compelling and relevant. A modern day scientist goes to the Arctic to and comes across Victor Frankenstein's journal. He is obsessed to carry out the same experiments using modern science and very careful to repeat the same mistakes. As always, something goes wrong though not in ways that you would expect. I enjoyed this book a lot and will look for the Dracula novel by the same author.

Summary: A New Age Of Gods & Monsters
Review: The DALLAS MORNING NEWS calls Frankenstein: The Legacy "a fun and easy read - Schildt has given the 'monster' a humanity and awareness." CINESCAPE MAGAZINE reports the following: "Frankenstein: The Legacy is a strong literary follow-up to the original. The writing is breezy and fast paced, making the book a short, but exciting read. Schildt uses many settings and devices that call H.P. Lovecraft's writing to mind: dangerous medical experiments, creepy New England houses, dream-like staes, fortune telling, etc. But Schildt makes these elements available without needing to emulate Lovecraft's thick, complex prose. This novel was also featured in USA TODAY. THE NEW LONDON DAY NEWSPAPER reports that "Christopher Schildt writes with the literary elegance one associates with Mary Shelley or Bram Stoker - his plots are clever and unusual within the frame work of modern horror." In all, this is a truly wonderful novel.
