Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes Mary Shelley's Frankenstein—two gothic novels in one! In this chilling sequel to Mary Shelley's famous horror classic, Hilary Bailey imagines what might have happened if Dr. Frankenstein had created a female companion for his monster. Years after he inadvertently set in motion the events that caused a series of deranged murders, Dr. Frankenstein, now living a happy and privileged life, sets to work on restoring the voice of beautiful young opera singer Maria Clementi. But things are not always as they seem, and soon the rumors about Victor Frankenstein begin to worry his new assistant, Jonathan Goodall. When Jonathan spies a mysterious figure lurking near Maria's theatre, and later discovers his own wife and child murdered in cold blood, he knows he'll do anything to uncover the truth of Frankenstein and his newest experiments—a truth he knows will change everything... For more than two hundred years, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus has kept readers enthralled. Shelley brought to life not only Frankenstein's monster, but also a masterpiece that authors have reimagined again and again. Frankenstein's Bride is perfect for seekers of the supernatural, classic horror fans, and readers of gothic fiction.

He also traces the literary roots of the Frankenstein myth, the creation of a living being by a man usurping the powers of a jealous God. And he finds echoes in the work of modern artists such as Max Ernst and Marcel Duchamp of the Bride as a kind of femme fatale, monstrous and threatening.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Mary Shelley's Frankenstein included—two tales of terror in one! In this chilling sequel to Mary Shelley's famous tale, Hilary Bailey imagines what might have happened if Frankenstein had created a female companion for his monster. The story begins in 1826 when a wealthy, young man by the name of Jonathan Goodall is introduced to Dr. Frankenstein, now living in London with a wife and small child. Jonathan soon becomes Frankenstein's helper and friend but, when Frankenstein's wife and child are brutally murdered, he becomes entangled in a horrific unfolding of events. Hilary Bailey's gothic prose is constructed with uncanny fidelity to Shelley's original style, as she describes the frightful consequences of Frankenstein's tampering with the laws of nature. Also included is a foreword by the author that describes how Lord Byron and Mary Shelley each agreed to compete and write "a ghost story" and why Shelley won. "In this chilling and intelligent sequel to the never-forgotten story, Hilary Bailey imagines what might have happened if Frankenstein had made a woman, a bride, for his male creature. Bailey plays on the fear of the monstrous, compassionless woman and also plays with it . . . Icy, atmospheric and riveting." Observer, UK national Sunday newspaper "Icily convincing... Hilary bailey lets the implications of a new story look after themselves. Without fashionable recourse to the erotic or the feminist, she is mistress of the melodrama" Mail on Sunday, UK national Sunday newspaper "Frankenstein's bride makes Frankenstein's monster look like a pussycat."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attempting to create life through dreadful experiments, Henry Frankenstein and Dr. Pretorius instead created unspeakable horror: two misshapen monsters, a brutish male and his female mate, stitched together from the bodies of cadavers. Crafted to be the monster's bride - an undead Eve to an equally accursed Adam - the female creature was destroyed mere minutes after taking its first breath - or was it? This new novel by the critically acclaimed Elizabeth Hand reinterprets the memorable characters from Universal Picture's classic 1935 film for a new generation of horror fans. Detailing the bride of Frankenstein's secret history, from the shadows of forgotten laboratories to the streets of Weimar Germany, Hand creates a richly atmospheric tale of horror, mystery, and tragedy as chilling as the creature itself. Elizabeth Hand's novels and short story collections include Mortal Love, Black Light, Bibliomancy and the cult classic Waking the Moon. A longtime contributor to the Washington Post Book World and the Village Voice Literary Supplement, she lives in Maine.

Seventy-five years ago, a new type of monster burst onto the screen in an all-time classic movie, and though she appeared for only a few scant minutes at the very end of the film, she was instantly and forever stamped in viewer's minds as one of the leading horror icons in cinema history: The Bride of Frankenstein.

Book excerpt: It's Alive! is a comprehensive and entertaining account of Universal's classic Monster series. It reveals the studio politics, the shameless publicity gimmicks, and the sheer Hollywood madness that made the eight films of Universal's Frankenstein saga the most successful and widely viewed horror films ever produced. It examines the personalities and analyzes the special contributions of such great horror stars as the gentle, mysterious Boris Karloff, the proud, tragic Bela Lugosi, the erratic Lon Chaney, Jr. It provides descriptions of unrivaled detail and accuracy of the ingenious makeups and the strange series of set accidents that are part of the legend and lore of these remarkable motion pictures. The book contains richly detailed production and cast credits, the most exhaustive ever published on these films. There are full synopses of all eight films, a feature sure to inspire nostalgic recollections among the legions of late-night viewers who habitually search the TV listing to see if one of their favorite Frankenstein films is playing--again. Complete production histories furnish an insider's view of how all that film magic was created. Film historian Gregory William Mank conducted numerous exclusive interviews with series survivors, adding a moving and informative personal dimension to his book. Readers get firsthand information from such central figures as Charles Barton(director of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein), leading ladies like Elena Verdugo (House of Frankenstein) and Josephine Hutchinson (Son of Frankenstein), screenwriter Curt Siodmak (who wrote the screenplay for Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man), Lugosi's ex-wife Lillian, Karloff's daughter Sara Jane, and the "Bride of Frankenstein" herself, Elsa Lanchester. An entire chapter, entitled "Denouement," details the strange fates and tragedies that awaited many veterans of the Frankenstein series. And an extensive Biographical Appendix covers the careers of virtually every significant participant in the films. A section on later Frankenstein films demonstrates the lasting impact of this classic horror theme and evaluates the more recent pictures in relation to the great prototypes. The authoritative and readable text is visually supported by over 150 illustrations: portraits, stills from the various films, candid set photographs, and poster reproductions--many never before published. It's Alive! The Classic Cinema Saga of Frankenstein colorfully and factually presents the total, candid, revealing history behind one of the most beloved of motion picture series. It is an invaluable reference volume that also promises hours of pleasure reading. -- Inside jacket flaps.
