Following Frankenstein is the tale
of a mixed-up monster boy and the girl who befriends him – an epic adventure story which spans the icy wastes of the Arctic Tundra to the vaudeville circus
of PT Barnum’s New York, ranging across the American plains on the transcontinental railway, as an unlikely hero and heroine experience the cruelty of family and the kindness of strangers, evading slave-catchers, bounty-hunters, vengeful Italian noblemen and evil men of science, to pursue a very American Gothic dream.
