Frankenstein: Lost Souls - A Novel

About this book

Victor Frankenstein is back. The creator once known as Victor Helios was seen to die, yet Deucalion, his first and oldest creation, feels a dark, cold certainty in his blood: his maker lives again. High in the mountains of Montana, Deucalion has found sanctuary among the Benedictine nuns and monks of St. Bartholomew's Abbey, where his friend Brother Knuckles, a reformed ex-mobster, keeps watch beside him. But peace cannot last. In the nearby town of Rainbow Falls, a meticulous and unsettling man named Erskine Potter, the future mayor, has plans of his own, and everything about the town hints that something is deeply wrong. Dean Koontz, the bestselling master of suspense, continues his modern reimagining of Mary Shelley's classic. Lost Souls is the fourth novel in the Frankenstein series. It blends chilling horror, sharp-edged dark humor, and fast-paced thriller storytelling, with a cast of unforgettable misfits standing against a creator who believes he can replace humanity. Of about 85,000 words in 72 chapters, this novel is packed with suspense, eerie atmosphere and monstrous ambition. Best read after the earlier books in the series.
