Creatures: The Legacy of Frankenstein: The Legacy of Frankenstein by Tade Thompson, Emma Newman

3.0

I love Frankenstein. I love the ripples that such a story has made through modern literature and cinema, so I absolutely had to snatch up this book. I don't often read short story anthologies, so it's difficult to judge the book on the whole when the stories inside of it vary so wildly. There are some true stand out moments and I especially loved Eve, the beautiful creation of two bohemian women. At times though, other stories did drag and in my opinion, were a little too derivative and dependant on the source material rather than finding an original spark and story to tell. So, there are highs and lows but the good parts were very enjoyable.
