Like his previous monster mash, "Devil's Brood" this novel spends the vast majority of its time focused on unlikeable characters being awful, with monsters vaguely in the setting. I wouldn't even call them protagonists because they do very little besides wander around. I found myself thumbing page after page waiting for the monsters to get on stage.
The author also has a weird focus on describing in great details the clothes everyone is wearing, even extremely minor characters.
Like the old monster-mash movies of the 40s when the action finally starts, the story almost instantly has an unsatisfying rushed conclusion.

This is a sequel to "The Devil's Brood," David Jacobs's previous novel starring the Universal monsters. As in the previous novel, this one has Dracula, the Frankenstein monster and zombies galore on a tropical island, and Countess Marya Zaleska (Dracula's Daughter), the third generation Werewolf of London, and the Bride of Frankenstein in Visaria, until the final few chapters when they all cross paths. I found this novel to be paced better than the previous one. It is an enjoyable read but, as with the previous book, it suffers from the lack of likable characters.

As a fan of The Universal Monsters this book called out to me.
While the book was a pretty good story and entertaining I was surprised by the lack of Universal monsters, for a book with the tagline of "The New Adventures of Frankenstein, Dracula and the universal Monsters" they don't really appear all that often in the book.
But when they do, it's a pretty great destructive universal monster of a time.
The story is entertaining regardless, just wanted more.

Don't pay too much attention to the story, as it is just an excuse to get the monsters together so they can fight.
Nice building of suspense as the three monsters gradually get drawn together and the fight was cool.
Would have made a good movie.

Great Read, includes monsters such as wolfman, dracula, frankenstein, and you can't forget ZOMBIES!!
It was suspenseful, and had a clear flow throughout. I recommend this book to those who like a little gore , thriller , and edge of your seat action.
