Could my fellow SDMBers provide a list of pastiche titles dealing with the theme of later uses of Dr. Victor Frankenstein’s unique technology?
All themes welcome, but Humor especially so.
Also, work-safe websites are welcome.
Please and thank you!

Um…I was looking for actual books–works of fiction.
Ya know?
That’s why I used the term “PASTICHE”.

Titles of actual books!
Just for laughs: Straight Dope Staff Report: Would Frankenstein’s monster be possible today?
Bosda, I assume you mean like Fred Saberhagen has a bunch of books with “Dracula” in the title, like The Dracula Chronicles? Is that the sort of thing you’re looking for? If so, nothing occurs to me: I assume movies like SON OF FRANKENSTEIN or YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN wouldn’t count?
Dean Koontz did a modern take on Frankenstein - the first in the trilogy is called Prodigal Son. Is that the sort of thing you’re after?
No, books please.
That seems closer to the mark.
Danny Dunn and the … okay, I’ll stop.
How about:
Time Enough for Love (cloned bodies are animated and the consciousnesses and memories of extremely old people are transplanted into them)
Various novels by John Varley involving heavy body mods, not necessarily from dead people
Speaking of dead people:
Patchwork Girl, by Larry Niven
Walter Dean Myers published two sequels, *The Cross of Frankenstein * and The Slave of Frankenstein, in the 1970s.
I just got Whte Wolf’s latest *World of Darkness * rpg book, Promethean: The Created. It has an alchemical take on Frankenstein.
Robert John Myers, actually,
Adam figures obliquely in Warren Ellis’ Planetary graphic novel volume 1.
Frankenstein Unbound might fit the bill.
And the grand daddy of them all The Mammoth Book of Frankenstein.

I’ve got that one, Tapioca. You might also consider The Rivals of Frankenstein, edited by Michael Parry:
Frankenstein was one of the lines in DC’s recnetly completed Seven Soldiers collection.
The monster, now going by Frankenstein, is portrayed as a brutal avenger after the otherworldly evil that was, among other things, the secret power behind his creation. The Bride (although they were divorced long ago) has had a second pair of arms grafted on to her (by an Indian mad scientist) and is now a government operative.
Probably my favorite part of that line. Awesome pulpy fun, especially when you get to the flesh eating horses of Mars.
I always get those two confused! :smack:
And by “always” I mean “twice in the past thrity years.”
