Dracula The Modern Prometheus - Rafael Chandler

Publisher's Blurb

A monstrous woman flees across Arctic sea ice, pursued by an implacable nemesis. Three shadowless brothers prowl through wolf-haunted forests in search of fresh victims. And in a subterranean laboratory, an undead Countess conducts a gruesome experiment...

Mina Harker’s journey to Transylvania is supposed to advance her career, but instead, it plunges her into a war between an ageless evil and a hideous new form of life. As the streets of London run red with blood, Harker takes up the wooden stake, crucifix, and Kukri knife against her nightmarish foes. But when one hunts monsters, a terrible price must be paid.

In this gender-flipped mashup of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" and Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus," storylines and characters are combined in unexpected ways, and familiar horrors are transformed into new nightmares.

Review - 3 Stars

I've read Bram Stoker's Dracula but not Mary Shelley's Frankenstein so was interested in how this 'mash-up' would deal with the different stories.

The gender reversals on the main characters gave the narrative a new perspective and this is an easier read than the originals.

This is well worth a read whether you have read the originals or not and might even whet your appetite for the source material 

If you've ever been curious about Dracula or Frankenstein but didn't feel up to reading the gothic novels then this will give you all you need to know to blag your way.
