Description

A wildly creative Gothic fantasy retelling of Frankenstein, This Monstrous Thing is set in an alternative world where clockwork parts and steam-powered carriages are the norm. When Alasdair Finch brings his brother back to life using these innovative materials, he unwittingly creates a monster that defies control. The novel's dark and suspenseful plot unfolds as the townsfolk become obsessed with finding the real-life doctor responsible for creating the creature. With few options for help, Alasdair must navigate treacherous circumstances that may ultimately bring him closer to his brother - or tear them apart forever. This Monstrous Thing is a gripping tale of family, love, and the dangers of playing God.
