Review: A beautifully crafted tale of classic literature

Billie Sue Mosiman continues to pull something out of her literary hat that never ceases to amaze me. Best known for her electrifying prose, she sometimes steps outside that realm to create something entirely different. Case in point, FRANKENSTEIN: RETURN FROM THE WASTELAND. This tale told in style of the original novel could easily be the long lost missing last chapter from Mary Shelly's Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus. The story fits as seamlessly as to not show a single stitch (Sorry, a little Frankenstein humor there). It's as if Mosiman vacationed in Lake Geneva and found the manuscript buried somewhere in a closet of an old house. In fact that's why I am so late to review. After purchasing this story the day it was released, I read it several times before I decided to read Shelly's work and follow it with Mosiman's closing of the tale. Brilliant!
