Book Reviews of The Monster Made By Man: A Compendium of Gothic Adaptations
Book Review: I couldn't put this book down!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must read for Gothic Literature fans. Franz Potter does a wonderful job in his introduction to the book by letting us know how important Gothic short stories were and still are, and by providing a source for other Gothic stories to read. The short stories in this book are just as thrilling and chilling as the longer Gothic novels, but you don't have to read hundreds of pages for a conclusion. The stories are suspenseful and horrific. There is a lesson to be learned in each of these stories, the bad guys get what's coming to them, and they all end in the best way possible. A truly good read!
Summary of The Monster Made By Man: A Compendium of Gothic Adaptations
This new collection of nine rare Gothic tales has been assembled to represent a wide range of adaptations, redactions, plagiarisms and condensations of Gothic motifs and characterisations in the 1820s and 1830s. From Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to Charles Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer, The Monster Made By Man illustrates the evolution of the Gothic genre and revisits what is most horrifying- the familiar.Anthologies Books
