After learning that the legendary story of Frankenstein was based on fact, Medical genius Dr. Burt Winslow recovers and resurrects the legendary undead Frankenstein's monster only to unleash a torrent of terror on the unsuspecting world as the monster escapes. Making its way across the European countryside, the monster encounters the psychic circus-master Dartani who wishes to use the creature for his own evil revenge, and brainwashes the creature as a deadly pawn rampaging against innocent villagers. This is the first volume in the New Adventures of Frankenstein horror-adventure series by Donald F. Glut (Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back)
