Dr. Fankenstein? Still around after more than 200 years?? And his creation???
When this audio book fell into my hands I had not expected to like it. I enjoy Science Fiction, Fantasy, Political Thrillers, but never Horror. But when a car trip loomed I decided to try it out. And it was a pleasant surprise; a bit of a mix of the genres I normally read, not horror as one typically thinks of it.
Dean Koontz has leveraged a classic tale and brought it to life in a modern setting and with updated methods. The horror is the drive to exterminate the world. The twist is that his original monster is now "a good guy".
As narrator, Christopher Lane has done an excellent job; good pacing, a whole bag of voices to separate the characters, and easy to understand throughout.
I can see why there is a waiting list for this Audio Book, and can say that there is no reason anyone could not enjoy it without having read the others in the series.
