About
“Dracula Unbound”, “Frankenstein Unbound”, and “Moreau's Other Island” all together in one book. All of Aliss' Monster Trilogy in one place.
“Moreau's Other Island”: Welcome to Dr Moreau's other island. Place of untold horrors. Home of the Beast Men...
He stands very tall, long prosthetic limbs glistening in the harsh sun, withered body swaying, carbine and whip clasped in artificial hands. Man-beasts cower on the sand as he brandishes his gun in the air. He is Dr Moreau, ruler of the fabulous, grotesque island, where humans are as brutes and brutes as humans, where the future of the entire human race is being reprogrammed. The place of untold horrors. The place of the New Man.
“Frankenstein Unbound”: When Joe Bodenland is suddenly transported back in time to the year 1816, his first reaction is of eager curiosity rather than distress...This is Aldiss' response to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
When Joe Bodenland is suddenly transported back in time to the year 1816, his first reaction is of eager curiosity rather than distress. Certainly, the Switzerland in which he finds himself, with its charming country inns, breathtaking landscapes and gentle, unmechanised pace of life, is infinitely preferable to the America of 2020 where the games of politicians threaten total annihilation. But after meeting the brooding young Victor Frankenstein, Joe realises that this world is more complex than the one he left behind. Is Frankenstein real, or are both Joe and he living out fictional lives?
“Dracula Unbound”: A dramatic reworking of the vampire myth in a way that only Brian Aldiss can...
When Bram Stoker was writing his famous novel, Dracula, at the end of the 19th century he received a visitor named Joe Bodenland. While the real Count Dracula came from the distant past, Joe arrived from Stoker's future—on a desperate mission to save humanity from the undead.
