The Man Who Became Frankenstein's Monster - Robert Daicy

I love, love, love carny stories and noticed this one is FREE (for Kindle) when perusing my Amazon wishlist today. Happy Monday to me!

 

New York, 1926‒Anyone can make a good life for themselves if they are just willing to work hard for it. William Barker is such a man. He has a good job, a nice house, a son named James, and a marriage he is trying desperately to hold together. A tragic accident takes this life away and William finds himself alone in his house with terrible mental and physical scars that are a constant reminder of what happened. 


With no one willing to employ a man with such visible and disturbing scars, William is lost and has no answers for how to live his life. That is when he meets the man who will change that life forever, Roland Skelton, the owner of Skelton’s Spectacular Traveling Carnival. Where others saw a man to be shunned, Roland sees a man he may be able to help. 


Roland convinces William to join the Carnival as the headliner of the ten-in-one. With the name ‘Frankenstein’s Monster,’ William is a hit with the paying audience and finds that being onstage is a release from his pain and guilt. In time, William realizes that those he works with understand him better than he could have hoped. 


While working at the carnival, William finds a new happiness, an enemy, purpose, and even love. The Man Who Became Frankenstein’s Monster is a moving novel about a man who rises above adversity set against the backdrop of the golden age of the carnival.

15 Book-to-Film Adaptations Coming in 2015

Get a sneak peek at some of the most highly anticipated book adaptations coming to movie theaters next year.

 

Been waiting for Seventh Son for a while now. They were at Comic-Con last year promoting it. Which is rather worrisome, if they keep putting it off so much. Then again, I'm still waiting for that adaptation of Joe Hill's Horns to make it to theatres or DVD, sighs.
