My co-author Joseph McGinty and I are delighted to have received our contributors copies of the new anthology We Shall Be Monsters, pictured below with its original inspiration. Edited by multiple Aurora Award winner Derek Newman-Stille and published by Renaissance Press, We Shall Be Monsters commemorates the bicentennial and legacy of the ground-breaking and genre-changing novel Frankenstein: Or, the Modern Prometheus by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. The anthology features 24 stories and poems by diverse authors from around the world, ranging from direct interpretations of Shelley’s text to innovative explorations of stitched, assembled body, and narrative experiments in monstrous creations.
Our story “F. – A Post-Modern Prometheus” is a satirical tale about a hapless modern day Victor Frankenstein struggling to raise funding for his monstrous research. Check out the bonus material related to and inspired by our story including a teaser preview, deleted scenes, and even Frankenstein’s PowerPoint presentation!
