This is a sequel to Mary Shelley's seminal novel, predicated on the assumption that Frankenstein's monster returns from the Arctic wilderness to which he consigns himself after his creator's death, and returns with Captain Walton to Scotland to have his wounds treated. So far so good, and this starts well and feels like a worthy continuation in the style of the original. However, soon after they get to Scotland, the quality declined, and I found the narrative rather silly, involving Burke and Hare and a Deacon Brodie (son of the infamous one). There were some well written reflections on the part of the "monster" on the nature of his existence and his desire to expiate the guilt he feels for the crimes he committed in the original novel. But overall this for me failed to live up to its initial expectations. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In his stunning tour-de-force sequel to Mary Shelley's novel FRANKENSTEIN, horror master Marvin Kaye (author of A Cold Blue Light and The Masters of Solitude) breathes new life into the Creature, offering a glimpse into the soul behind the monster -- and redemption to not only Victor Frankenstein, but the life he created. From the snow-swept wastes of the Frozen North to the gaslit streets of Edinburgh (where Burke & Hare are just starting their body-snatching ways), THE PASSION OF FRANKENSTEIN is a horror event not to be missed!
