This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel

5.0

Chiller about the young Victor Frankenstein and other characters that later appear in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I haven't read the original, but I know enough to catch at least some of the allusions. Victor is a terrific character, not entirely likeable, and the setting and plot are creepily Gothic. There seems to be the opening for a sequel but I'm not sure if that's Oppel's intention.
