"Mister Creecher is a new addition to the Frankenstein literature shelf that is utterly origional & new and that in no way is a copy or reflection of Mary Shelley's origional work. It is just as chilling and brilliant as Chris Priestley's other works, such as 'the tales of terror collection' and 'the dead of winter' novel that is also deliciously creepy with lots of twists and turns. This book is wonderfully macabre and genuinely spooky that will send chills down your spine and make you unknowingly keep looking behind your shoulder, as 'the Independant' (newspaper) added that it is "Genuinely, thrillingly horrible" and for a storyline such as this then that is a great compliment. I was apsolutely facinated by the relationship between this creature and the boy because it was something that as a reader you certainly would not expect, hence i found it to be a read that was truly moving & heartwarming. One looks upon Mary Shelley's creation in an almost steriotypical way so that when it comes to someone else writing about this particular character in a conciderably new & different light, it not only throws you off guard but is completely overwhelming & suprising. As the saying goes 'don't judge a book by its cover' well this can also be applied to fictional characters to and our views on them and with Frankenstein you may want to think again when you have read Chris Priestley's rendition. I was utterly captivated from the begininng right through to the very end of this novel as it blew me away and something that i thought was not going to be very good or something that i presumed to be too much like a children's story, completely suprised & shocked me so much so that i did not want to put it down. I am not a huge fan of horror stories but this book had an even balance between gory descriptions and overdoing it in the way of grusome, explicit details that keep you awake at night. It did not take me very long to read as it is only a short novel and one that is very easy to read, that is character-driven and displays all the qualities of a facinating and exciting storyline that really captures ones imagination throughout. Mary Shelley will always be a litertary icon & rightly so, but she would also be proud of what Chris Priestley has achived here which is by no means any discredit to her. It is a beautiful story that is emotive, thought-provoking and throughly gripping and one that does not disapoint whatsoever the only thing it may do is suprise & delight you."
