Abstract: Il giovane e ambizioso scienziato Victor Frankenstein decide di sfidare le leggi della natura per dare vita a una creatura composta da parti di cadaveri. L'esperimento avrà successo ma rovinerà la vita di Victor, incapace di accettare e accogliere la sua creatura. Di fronte a questo rifiuto, e all'ipocrisia e alla meschinità dell'umanità, il cosiddetto mostro di Frankenstein esigerà una tremenda vendetta contro il proprio creatore. Uno straordinario archetipo dell'orrore, ispiratore di infiniti adattamenti in ogni media.

Abstract: A scientist attempts to bring her younger sister back to life with unexpected results in this Frankenstein-inspired graphic novel about ghosts, identity, and family When Doctor Frances Ai's younger sister Maura died in a tragic accident six months ago, Frances swore she would bring her back to life. However, the creature that rises from the slab is clearly not Maura. This girl, who chooses the name "M," doesn't remember anything about Maura's life and just wants to be her own person. However, Frances expects M to pursue the same path that Maura had been on—applying to college to become a scientist—and continue the plans she and Maura shared. Hoping to trigger Maura's memories, Frances surrounds M with the trappings of Maura's past, but M wants nothing to do with Frances' attempts to change her into something she's not. In order to face the future, both Frances and M need to learn to listen and let go of Maura once and for all. Talia Dutton's debut graphic novel, M Is for Monster, takes a hard look at what it means to live up to other people's expectations—as well as our own. M Is for Monster is one of the titles on our Surely list which is dedicated to showcasing gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual creators and stories.
