Media Reviews
`A brilliant counterpoint to Frankenstein, compellingly written. Chris Priestley goes from strength to strength' * Chris Riddell *
`A dark, moving, creepy, funny tale about the making of a famous monster . . . only not the one you think it'll be. Splendid gothic stuff' * Kim Newman, author of Nightmare Movies *
'A wonderfully nightmarish journey of the imagination - old-fashioned storytelling at its best' * Daily Mail *
'The gradual build-up of horror . . . is exquisitely done. My insides were still untangling themselves hours after I had closed the book' * Sunday Telegraph *
