Billy is a street urchin, a pickpocket, and a petty thief. Mister Creecher is a giant of a man whose appearance terrifies everyone he meets. Their relationship begins as a matter of convenience. But before long, a bond develops between these two misfits as they embark on a bloody journey that will take them from London northward on the trail of their target . . . Doctor Victor Frankenstein. It seems the good doctor had promised Mister Creecher a bride, and Mister Creecher will stop at nothing to get what he's been promised. Nothing.

Perfect for fans of horror novels, this frightening new book from Chris Priestley reinvents a classic literary monster for a new generation of readers.

Review:

'A brilliant counterpoint to Frankenstein, compellingly written. Chris Priestley goes from strength to strength' Chris Riddell 'A dark, moving, creepy, funny tale about the making of a famous monster ... only not the one you think it'll be. Splendid gothic stuff' Kim Newman, author of Nightmare Movies 'A wonderfully nightmarish journey of the imagination - old-fashioned storytelling at its best' Daily Mail 'The gradual build-up of horror ... is exquisitely done. My insides were still untangling themselves hours after I had closed the book' Sunday Telegraph
