The Afterlives of Frankenstein
An exploration of the treatment of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein in popular art and culture, this book examines adaptations in film, comics, theatre, art, video-games and more, to illuminate how the novel's myth has evolved in the two centuries since its publication. Divided into four sections, The Afterlives of Frankenstein considers the cultural dialogues Mary Shelley's novel has engaged with in specific historical moments; the extraordinary examples of how Frankenstein has suffused our cultural consciousness; and how the Frankenstein myth has become something to play with, a locus for reinvention and imaginative interpretation. In the final part, artists respond to the Frankenstein legacy t...

Some zombie movies are just as good as any other kind of movie, some watchable but not great, and some are absolute rubbish. Be warned, author Andy McKinney names names and tells it like it is.

Global Frankenstein
Consisting of sixteen original essays by experts in the field, including leading and lesser-known international scholars, Global Frankenstein considers the tremendous adaptability and rich afterlives of Mary Shelley’s iconic novel, Frankenstein, at its bicentenary, in such fields and disciplines as digital technology, film, theatre, dance, medicine, book illustration, science fiction, comic books, science, and performance art. This ground-breaking, celebratory volume, edited by two established Gothic Studies scholars, reassesses Frankenstein’s global impact for the twenty-first century across a myriad of cultures and nations, from Japan, Mexico, and Turkey, to Britain, Iraq, Europe, and North America. Offering compelling critical dissections of reincarnations of Frankenstein, a generically hybrid novel described by its early reviewers as a “bold,” “bizarre,” and “impious” production by a writer “with no common powers of mind”, this collection interrogates its sustained relevance over two centuries during which it has engaged with such issues as mortality, global capitalism, gender, race, embodiment, neoliberalism, disability, technology, and the role of science.

Frankenstein 100 lat w kinie
„Oto książka wyjątkowa nie tylko w skali kraju. Bodajże jeszcze żaden straceniec przed Rafałem Donicą nie podjął się obejrzenia i przeanalizowania wszystkich istniejących filmów mających swoje korzenie w micie frankensteinowskim” – tak w 2013 roku o książce „Frankenstein 100 lat w kinie” pisał krytyk filmowy Bartosz Czartoryski. Przed państwem II-gie wydanie tej gigantycznej, fascynującej monografii - poprawione, uaktualnione, rozszerzone (II-gie wydanie liczy 353 strony), wzbogacone o nowe rozdziały, jak „Dziwactwa i kurioza”, „Figurki, dioramy, zabawki”, „Frankenstein we współczesnym komiksie”. A wszystko to po raz pierwszy w kolorze, wzbogacone o ponad trzysta nowych zdjęć ilustrujących ewolucję mitu Frankensteina na przestrzeni dwustu lat, i obrazujących jego kondycję w filmie, teatrze, komiksie i pop kulturze.
