Book Presentation:
James Whale's Frankenstein (1931) spawned a phenomenon that has been rooted in world culture for decades. This cinematic Prometheus has generated countless sequels, remakes, rip-offs, and parodies in every media, and this granddaddy of cult movies constantly renews its followers in each generation. Along with an in-depth critical reading of the original 1931 film, this book tracks Frankenstein the monster's heavy cultural tread from Mary Shelley's source novel to today's Internet chat rooms.

About the Author:
Robert Horton is the author of Billy Wilder: Interviews (2001) and the zombie-western graphic novel Rotten (2010) and its spin-off The Lost Diary of John J. Flynn (2012). He is also a contributor to Film Commentand KUOW-FM, and curator of the Frye Art Museum's Magic Lantern program.
