A wildly creative Gothic fantasy retelling of Frankenstein, This Monstrous Thing is a wholly new reimagining of the classic novel by Mary Shelley and is perfect for fans of retellings such as Cinder by Marissa Meyer, fantasy by Libba Bray and Cassandra Clare, and alternative history by Scott Westerfeld.
In an alternative fantasy world where some men are made from clockwork parts and carriages are steam powered, Alasdair Finch, a young mechanic, does the unthinkable after his brother dies: he uses clockwork pieces to bring Oliver back from the dead.
But the resurrection does not go as planned, and Oliver returns more monster than man. Even worse, the novel Frankenstein is published and the townsfolk are determined to find the real-life doctor and his monster. With few places to turn for help, the dangers may ultimately bring the brothers together-or ruin them forever.
- A Dark Reimagining: In this steampunk version of Mary Shelley's classic, a young mechanic named Alasdair uses forbidden science to resurrect his brother, only to create something he can't control.
- Monsters and Humanity: When the famous novel Frankenstein is published, it ignites a real-life witch hunt, forcing the brothers to confront what it truly means to be a monster.
- Brother Against Brother: As Oliver grapples with his monstrous new existence, his bond with Alasdair is tested by secrets, guilt, and a past that won't stay buried.
- Alternative History with a Twist: Explore a richly imagined 1818 Geneva powered by steam and secrets, where the line between man and machine is dangerously thin.
