Dark Horse Pieces Together Universal's "Bride Of Frankenstein"

Silver Screen Edition


Attempting to create life through dreadful experiments, 'Henry Frankenstein' and 'Dr. Pretorius' instead created unspeakable horror: two misshapen monsters, a brutish male and his female mate, stitched together from the bodies of cadavers.

Crafted to be the monster's bride-an undead Eve to an equally accursed Adam-the female creature was destroyed mere minutes after taking its first breath-or was it?

This new novel by the critically acclaimed Elizabeth Hand reinterprets the memorable characters from Universal Picture's classic 1935 film for a new generation of horror fans.


Detailing the bride of Frankenstein's secret history, from the shadows of forgotten laboratories to the streets of Weimar Germany, Hand creates a richly atmospheric tale of horror, mystery, and tragedy as chilling as the creature itself.

Praise for author's previous work:

• "One of the most sheerly impressive . . . overwhelmingly beautiful books I have read in a long time. . . . [Elizabeth Hand] has written the best book of her generation."
- Peter Straub, author of Ghost Story

• One of fantastical fiction's most highly regarded writers, Hand is the recipient of the Nebula Award, two World Fantasy Awards, and a Washington Post Notable Book of the Year honor.
