A New Spin on Classic Horror

Teen Frankenstein by Chandler Baker

Wow, that was a long time between posts. Not sure what's wrong lately, but I don't want to read. It's a weird feeling, and one I can't remember ever experiencing before.

Victoria "Tor" Frankenstein is a budding scientist, living in rural Texas. She and her best friend, Owen, a working through an inordinate amount of dead rodents in their efforts to reanimate them. So far, every experiment has been a failure. Then one rainy night, Tor accidentally hits a teenaged boy. He dies, but she brings him back.

She does such a good job reanimating this guy that he is able to almost seamlessly pass as an average teenager at Tor's high school. He's even a top notch football player. While the guy, Adam, is busy being an average teenager with Tor and Owen, someone is killing teenaged boys and removing parts of their bodies. Tor is worried that Adam is either the killer or a potential victim.

As the story unfolds, we see Tor come out of the social cocoon she has created for herself, and see her solve a mystery. Who is killing these boys? Will Adam ever find out how he came to be the way he now is? Will Adam ever find out who he was before? All this is revealed within the pages of this book.
