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 steampunk 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 Frankenstein Retelling: A wholly new reimagining of Mary Shelley’s classic, where young mechanic Alasdair Finch uses forbidden science to bring his brother, Oliver, back from the grave.
- YA Historical Fantasy: Step into an alternative 1818 Geneva, a city of steam-powered carriages where men with clockwork parts are both a marvel and a menace.
- A Monstrous Secret: When the resurrection goes wrong, Oliver returns as something more monster than man, forcing the brothers to conceal the shocking truth of what Alasdair has done.
- A Dangerous Obsession: The publication of a certain gothic novel ignites a real-life monster hunt, and the townsfolk are determined to find the truth behind the fiction—at any cost.
