Much like the Creature at its heart, this study is assembled from heterogenous sources. Cinema, graphic narratives, board games and video games, among other popular culture materials, all furnish the author with the necessary tools to trace the complex evolution and adaptational history of an archetypal monster whose afterlives have proven as colourful and significant as Mary Shelley's original novel. Remaking the Monster should appeal to transmedia and Gothic researchers.

Consistently insightful and entertaining, Alissa Burger's wide-ranging study makes clear that Frankenstein's creature has always been more than just the sum of its parts. Through its careful considerations of literature, film, television, comics, and gaming, Remaking the Monster shows us instead that each iteration of Shelley's malleable monster offers us a mirror into our shifting anxieties and desires, even as it insistently puts to us the question of what it means to be human.
