Out Now - New Edition of The Frankenstein Legend


First published in 1973, The Frankenstein Legend: A Tribute to Mary Shelley and Boris Karloff, written by Donald F. Glut, has recently been re-issued in a second edition (published by Strange Particle Press in 2022). The work covers Shelley's novel and its adaptation on stage and screen (both film and television), for radio, in fiction, and as comics. 

Comprising over 400 pages, much of the content is repeated from the original edition, but Glur has included new and/or updated images to accompany the text. In addition, Glut adds a new illustrated afterword that provides updates to various sections of the text. 


I couldn't find a direct link for Strange Particle Press, but the book can be purchased from various online booksellers as print-on-demand and electronic versions.
