About

The million-copy best-selling thriller about a young scientist, a lovely woman, and a brain with the immortal power of evil!


''Donovan's Brain'' is a landmark 1942 science fiction horror novel written by German-American screenwriter and author Curt Siodmak. It is a classic "mad scientist" tale that blends hard science fiction with a gritty, psychological noir tone.

Dr. Patrick Cory keeps the brain of a deceased millionaire megalomaniac, W.H. Donovan, alive in a glass tank after a fatal plane crash. Kept alive in an electrically charged saline solution, the brain survives and develops powerful telepathic abilities. Freed from the distractions of the flesh, Donovan's mind begins taking over Dr. Cory. Will it force the scientist to complete the millionaire tycoon's ruthless financial and criminal schemes?
