“Monsters” by Dave Zeltserman

Adult fiction. Friedrich, a young chemist in 19th century Germany is on the verge of wedding his fiance when tragedy strikes. Found unconscious and drugged in an alley, he is accused of the murder of his beloved, tortured at the wheel and killed. This would make for a very short book if it weren’t for the appearance of Victor Frankenstein, in league with the Marquis de Sade, who has restored the brain and aggrieved memories of the poor chemist in a collection of body parts. Thus begins a long journey of revenge and remorse for the “monster.”
