Frankenstein Omnibus

An anthology in parts. The first is an introduction that has a short extract from Frankenstein, and various other early looks at variants on that theme, including the non-horrific and a spoof. The Future Eve is a short novel, even if it mentions it is a novelette in the intro. Then various treatments for stage and screen, including a play, and finally 'the archetypes' which includes monsters that may have inspired Shelley such as the Golem, and some other more recent stories that actually deal with the Monster or Frankensteins directly. Each piece is given an historical overview beforehand. Frankenstein Omnibus : The Creature Lives! - Mary W. Shelley Frankenstein Omnibus : The Reanimated Englishman - Mary W.

It is not always possible to find a book in which there are as many good examples of the genre as possible about the same topic.This book satisfies my hunger for that.Many of the stories not only entertain you but also make you think,argue with the others and imagine further (as those great writers in the book once did) about the great mystery of the nature:Life!!!In some of the stories,analogies had been excellently set (as in Dial "F" For Frankenstein by A.C. Clarke) and considering all the works edited one can see the different implications and consequences of the man playing god,creating life (e.g romance in Future Eve,horror in The Reanimator etc.).We have to thank Peter Haining for so many great writers in one book,so do not miss it on earth!
