FRANKENSTEIN, A CULTURAL HISTORY provides a good, general overview of Mary Shelly's creature from its literary conception to the internationally-recognized icon it would become by the end of the 20th century. If you already know the details of that fateful summer at Lake Geneva and the history of the Universal films, you will already have heard it all, but there are still a couple of nice little surprises along the way, such as Dick Briefer's usually-overlooked 'Frankenstein' comic book getting a page or two. And, even more incredibly, discussion of the psychotronically- flavored film FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACE MONSTER. Not bad for a somewhat academic volume! Some reviews I've read recently have pointed out several factual errors, but as I collect things Frankenstein, I was still pleased to add the book to my collection. Great cover, too!
