My Thoughts:
The novel Unnatural Creatures follows the lives of three women: Caroline, Elisabeth, and Justine. All three are linked to Victor Frankenstein. Caroline is his mother, Elisabeth is his adopted cousin and future bride, and Justine is a servant in the Frankenstein home.A retelling of the classical novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. But this time told from the points of view of three different women in Victor Frankenstein’s life. Unnatural Creatures is historical fiction and not a true horror novel, but the mood is often eerie and atmospheric.
The narration by Barrie Kreinik is excellent.
