Frankenstein by Jo Fletcher as the last novella in the collection was amazingly thought out. It captures the modern understanding and illustration of Frankenstein, showing the change in decades and storytelling from Mary W. Shelley and undoubtedly pays respect to Shelley's work simultaneously.

To receive is better by Michael Marshall Smith

This short story is very well-written. The title makes a whole lot more sense after reading it. A take on the Frankenstein aspect which looks at the person who’s limbs are taken rather than made

I am beginning to realise this collection does not ask to be consumed very quickly, but to be savoured one bite at a time, over a long period of time

I'm more than halfway completed the book. The collection is interesting. You get an assortment; some tales are written similar, or at least with some similar concepts, and some stray so far from the path! However, it still contains very mild flavours of Frankenstein

There's a nice assortment of 'Frankenstein' novels and short stories. However, I don't think I can read a collection of stories like this again unless, I've read each of it separately each time or, read most of them. I think that way you'll enjoy the collection more if you're familiar with most of the stories encompassed by Stephen Jones. Otherwise great idea

really started getting into the groove. Mary W. Shelley's Frankenstein is not scary but super tragic for both the creator and creation. Loving most of the mini-stories so far. I empathize with the monster as well as Victor.

I'm finding this to be a pleasant read. Especially having seen the series a few years back of the 'Little Prince' produced from France, and the 'Little Prince' on Netflix. I find it has more similarity to the movie so far instead of the cartoon series.

The characters were all very interesting and unique, however, I won't think I'll find myself reading on the Coop Heist serious. I liked the book but, I think this type of genre where it's super action-packed, it's not the one I'm as drawn to or acclimated. However, I would recommend it to people who love witty humour and humour generally.

I have completed the book. Although, some parts I found funny and enjoyed. I found the flow to be difficult at times. Unlike all the other supernatural books I've read, this was quite different in the sense, that although it was supernatural it was very much an action-type of book. Usually, the supernatural books I read have a mystery essence and suspense. Don't get me wrong it had the mystery essense.

i found some parts of the book difficult to read in relation to the flow but regardless i love the snippets of humours scattered throughout the book.

So Jinx City exist. The funny thing is the two ‘cults’. There’s humour sprinkled across the book which i’m enjoying very much. i haven’t read the books from the humour genre in a very long time. Although, the library has classed this as ‘supernatural’. i’m looking forward to how the two cults will interact with one another, especially where one assumes that Coop is from the other’s group.

It's gripping. I'm absolutely frustrated at the situation that she is in. Jack is 'squeaky-clean', no-one would suspect him to be the kind of man who is abusive. Especially, being a successful lawyer defending women who are victims in domestic cases.

I am very determined to see how she would get out of this situation - if she gets out of the situation.

The story jumps back and forth between past and present. Jack Angel is psychotic, nonetheless very smart. However, I think he is a sociopath instead as his behavior was more so influenced by his upbringing and change of emotion to his abusive father.

so there are two cults who believe they

Currently finding the book to be quite humourous with a certain flair that I, myself am enjoying so far. Each character I find have all their certain quirks from the unnamed stranger with a prominent blue eye with the aggressive tendency of blowing things up, to Phil the poltergeist and Cooper Huskin the protagonist whom seems to live his life a loner.

Frankenstein's "Adam" did murder his little brother William. He has asked him to make another creature like him of the opposite sex in hopes of companionship after having being shunned, attacked, and cast away from men. He is heading towards London to make an "Eve" in which they will both expel themselves from humanity and live secluded in South America.

"A brief introduction on the Nervous System, with a focus on neuron structures and processes regarding the neutrons - specifically on the electrochemical processes and how neurotransmitters aid in communication."

I'm beginning to enjoy Mary W. Shelley's Frankenstein. The 'monster' accused of murder by his maker Frankenstein is most articulate and appears to be gentle with very intrinsic values. His intentions are childlike, having brought into a world which he remembers no past. I am looking forward to reading more from his perspective.

paragraph 2

Quote: It is so long before the mind can persuade itself that she, whom we saw every day, and whose existence appeared a part of our own, can have departed for ever - that the brightness of a beloved eye can be extinguished, and the sound of a voice so familiar, and dear to the ear, can be hushed, never more to be heard.

Simply updating, It was difficult to read at first. However, I'm slowly but surely getting into the stride.
