“Michael McCarty is given full rein, and off he goes on a bizarre trip of the imagination, all stops out, no limits, hell-for-leather,” – William Nolan author of Logan’s Run

This collection of horror and science fiction stories includes a sequel to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein – with Victor Frankenstein, the monster, and a blind fortune teller named Rose Blackthorn. In other tales… even the apocalypse won’t stop Leonard Cartwright from searching for his wife in the ruins; after getting struck by lightning that left him in a coma for twenty years, Jackson Heyward awakens with the ability to talk to the dead; will the discovery of the power of invisibility help save Dr. Nick’s failing relationship with his soulmate, or will it aid in its destruction? And many more twisted tales.

Sometimes love is a monster …

And there is no escape from Frankenstein’s Mistress: Tales of Love & Monsters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Recommended For Readers of This Genre (and also the Casual Reader)
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2021

Michael McCarty is a multi-award winning author in the horror genre with an impressive list of fiction and non-fiction works.

"Frankenstein's Mistress: Tales of Love & Monsters" is an entertaining collection of horror stories that will satisfy the readers of this genre. The standouts are "Frankenstein's Mistress" by C.L. Sherwood and Michael McCarty, and "Sad Man's Song" by Michael McCarty.

McCarty collaborates with other authors on many of the offerings in this anthology, and the differing writing styles sometimes were obvious in the narrative in the collaborations. Hence, more care should have been taken during editing/revising to make the writing seamless. Two other flaws that dropped this to a 3-star rating by me is the fact that it needed more diligent proofing for typos and structure.

Yet, the stories stand on their own as worth the price, and I do recommend this collection to both horror fans and the casual reader.
