Matt Shaw has always loved Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", from the original texts to the various re-tellings of the story over the years. Now, for the first time ever, he gets to show his love by re-telling the story with his own trademark dark humour and extreme, disturbing horror. His name was Victor. His dream, far-fetched yet hard to To create his own creature. Living and breathing, re-animated from the stitched-together remains of the dead. But when the monster opens its eyes, it is quick to turn on its maker... Keeping the heart of the original, and stamping his own personality over it, this is Matt Shaw's take on a classic.

Biography MATT SHAW was born, quite by accident (his mother tripped, he shot out) September 30th 1980 in Winchester hospital where he was immediately placed on the baby ward and EBay. Some twelve years later (wandering the corridors of the hospital and playing with road kill when he was on day release), the listing closed and he remained unsold, he was booted out of the hospital to start his life as a writer and hobbit – beginning with writing screenplays and short stories for his own amusement before finally getting published when he was twenty-seven years and forty-five seconds old. Once Published weekly in a lad's magazine with his photography work, Matt Shaw is also a published author and cartoonist. Has to be said, can be a bit of a flirt and definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, somewhat of a klutz. Favourite books "Roald Dahl's Collection of Short Stories" Tim Burton's Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy Anything, really, written by himself. Because he is that good.
