In the flickering twilight of the Cinématoxique, the twisted brainchild of a mad doctor and an inspired poet waits for the opening curtain... Evan J. Peterson invites you to explore the life of the creature-Frankenstein's "monster"-through poetry and prose in various genres and stylings throughout the ages. From its first steps to movies, adaptations, music, and beyond, this must-have collection will bring you to the edge of your seat and keep you there, no matter how much you might want to turn your mind's eye away from the screen. Presented in one volume for the first time, METAFLESH is a literary retrospective of the ultimate antihero and science fiction's original bad boy-the creature, the monster...Frankenstein!
