“Frankenstein REC�� is gothic horror at its best with great characters, an engaging, easy to read story, and a protagonist you actually care about.

Frankenstein REC by Costas ZapasThis is not a re-writing of Mary Shellys classic novel. I’m not even sure if it counts as a re-imagining. While it does concern the original monster we know as Frankenstein, it brings with it a modern day appeal that will keep the attention of today’s audience.

It begins as we are introduced to the young, female reporter. She suffers from a form of narcolepsy that leaves her in another world between this one and the other side. We are told when she has these bouts, a chemical is released into her system that causes sleeping hallucinations, leaving her to wonder whether what she experiences are real or not when she awakens.

She works at a local TV station where she serves as hostess of a very popular paranormal segment. Her real passion and research is the legend of Frankenstein. She strongly believes that it is not just legend at all, but rather a very real thing that was discovered by alchemists as a way to gain immortality.

When a theater troupe comes to town to put on a play of Frankenstein, they reach out to her, seemingly for promotion and ticket sales. This winds up not being the case and from the time she meets the “manager�� of the group for an interview, things start to get bizarre.

Is she going insane? Is she seeing ghosts? Are her narcoleptic spells transferring into her waking moments? Of course, that’s for you to find out. Because to delve any deeper into the story would force spoilers to a story that you should be reading for yourself.

Two things about “Frankenstein REC�� stood out for me as I was reading. First, the style of writing used by author COSTAS ZAPAS is easily read and brings with it a fluidity that belies the book as a whole. Not only is this gothic tale scarily realized with his words, but it brings about several philosophical debates as we are invited into the thoughts of the young reporter as she goes about trying to solve the mystery of Frankenstein.

The second thing that stands out about “Frankenstein REC�� is how easily the author combines factual bits of information about how the original Frankenstein got written and blending it seamlessly with the core beliefs of the reporter and the main ideology within the book.
“Frankenstein REC�� is an absolute must read for fans of gothic horror, love stories, or Frankenstein in general. While many not consider this “real�� horror, I strongly disagree. Thinking about some of the theories in this book makes you REALLY start to wonder if such things exist. If so, that’s some truly scary stuff.
And, for a bonus, it’s now being made into a full length feature film! So get busy reading it now so you’ll be caught up before the movie comes out.
