Description

Frankenstein in Baghdad is a satirical reimagining of Mary Shelley's classic novel, set against the backdrop of modern-day Iraq. Brilliantly capturing the horror of a city at war, this remarkable book tells the story of Hadi, who collects body parts from the dead and stitches them together to form a corpse. As the corpse goes missing, a wave of eerie murders sweeps across the city, with reports of a horrendous-looking, flesh-eating monster that cannot be killed. The victims are initially those who have escaped justice, but soon it's anyone who crosses Hadi's path. A gripping and thought-provoking tale, Frankenstein in Baghdad is a worthwhile read for fans of horror and satire alike. With its unique blend of psychological suspense and social commentary, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
