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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manguel gives a detailed and highly sensitive account of the film's felicities of inventive film-making. 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: Hybrid films that straddle more than one genre are not unusual. But when seemingly incongruous genres are mashed together, such as horror and comedy, filmmakers often have to tread carefully to produce a cohesive, satisfying work. Though they date as far back as James Whale’s Bride of Frankenstein (1935), horror-comedies have only recently become popular attractions for movie goers. In The Laughing Dead: The Horror-Comedy Film from Bride of Frankenstein to Zombieland, editors Cynthia J. Miller and A. Bowdoin Van Riper have compiled essays on the comic undead that look at the subgenre from a variety of perspectives. Spanning virtually the entire sound era, this collection considers everything from classics like The Canterville Ghost to modern cult favorites like Shaun of the Dead. Other films discussed include Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters, House on Haunted Hill, ParaNorman, Scream, Vampire’s Kiss, and Zombieland. Contributors in this volume consider a wide array of comedic monster films—from heartwarming (The Book of Life) to pitch dark (The Fearless Vampire Killers) and even grotesque (Frankenhooker). The Laughing Dead will be of interest to scholars and fans of both horror and comedy films, as well as those interested in film history and, of course, the proliferation of the undead in popular culture.

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.

Book excerpt: James Whale was the most brilliant director of horror films Hollywood has ever seen, director of such classics as Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein (and indeed every horror film rated with four stars in Halliwell's Film Guide). But he was by no means a typical Hollywood product, both because he was English and because he was openly gay in the Hollywood of the 30s. Christopher Bram's moving and powerful novel portrays Whale in his last weeks of life in 1957, overwhelmed by images of his past, his working class childhood in Britain, Hollywood premieres in the 30s, friendships with Elsa Lanchester, Charles Laughton and Elizabeth Taylor. Consumed by the contrast between his past and his present obscurity, he conspires with his young gardener to provide his life with the dramatic ending it deserves.
