Confessions of a Creature

I can only say good things about this novel. It is richly textured and intelligent. You can buy it here:

http://drolleriepress.com/books/

Here's the Blurb:

Frankenstein’s creature is determined to gain revenge against Frankenstein for condemning him to a lonely, fearful life. His revengeful pursuit of Frankenstein, and Frankenstein’s death, leave the creature stranded far from civilization, both physically and spiritually.

Now that his driving force is gone, he must learn to live. A chance meeting with a remarkable Russian granny who sees through his hideous exterior to his badly damaged spirit gives him the opportunity to overcome what he is, and perhaps become who he was meant to be.

In this novel, Gary Inbinder uses historical detail carefully and accurately to examine what it means to be human. Viktor is unusual for any time, not just because of the means of his birth, but because he doesn't have the assurance that he is a man because he is a man. His journey leaves him as confused as we all are, at times, about what it means to be who we are, but we, the reader, are able to see that he is, indeed, human in all the ways that matter--and truly a product of his times, as much as any man he meets.

Here’s what the reviewers say:

Ann Marie Chalmers of Front Street Reviews:

“… This wonderfully written novel will have any reader hooked right from the beginning. It is an enjoyable and extraordinary story!”

Amber from ParaNormalRomance Reviews:

“ . . . This magnificently written tale will grip any reader from the beginning and not let go until the end. It is a pleasing and astonishing account of what could have been.”

Camellia of The Long and Short of It review:

“This novel is full of well-written, graphic description that will linger with this reader for a long time.”

Enjoy!
