"...I could see the two creatures stirring. They had been dead flesh, but now their limbs began to jerk. In sudden, horrible spasms, their fingers flexed and their arms reached out. Their thin hands were first pressed flat against the inside of the glass, then were feeling along it like scuttering spiders..." London, 1879. Two mysterious children are smuggled into the city by a scientist who is sworn to their protection, yet terrified of them. The children have no idea that they are being hunted by a monstrous evil, or that they will trigger a horrifying journey through the fog-shrouded backstreets in search of justice, revenge, and the truth about who they are. Part Victorian gothic horror, part steampunk adventure for older children, The Frankenstein Inheritance is an atmospheric, thought-provoking twist on one of the world's most iconic nightmares.

Format:Paperback
This is a terrific read. I read it in one day - it kept me hooked. Set in the fog of Victorian London, the story moves from the docks, to Whitechapel and the East End and west to Kensington and the Natural History Museum. The story is very visual - it would make a good television drama. Told in the form of diaries, the narrative moves from character to character. Cheshire's writing is intelligent and clear and has a nice period style. The plot builds at a good pace and keeps you reading. The characters - particularly Victoria and Albert - are compelling and very well-drawn. Wolfgang Frankenstein is truly a monster. Not for the faint-hearted and recommended for anyone who enjoys Gothic horror!
