- Frankenstein's
Prescription
- by Tim Lees
-
- Hans Schneider is a drunkard and a womaniser;
everyone agrees he's heading for a bad end. When he kills a fellow
student in a duel, he finds himself banished to an isolated rural
hospital, far from the pleasures he desires. There he meets the
mysterious Dr Lavenza, and learns about Frankenstein's prescription-the
secret of eternal life.
-
-
- Together, Schneider and Lavenza set out to collect
the missing pieces of the formula. But they are not alone. From Germany
to Rome, from Rome to Paris, to the failed and wretched Eden of an
all-too-human God, a dreadful creature follows in their wake, bringing
destruction wherever they go.
-
-
- Poor Schneider wants an easy time: drink, women and
good company. Instead, he finds himself beset by ghosts and madmen, in a
world where music brings the dead to life, and even the most terrifying
monster can prove strangely sympathetic . . .
