The Autobiography of Francis N. Stein
 |
The Autobiography of Francis N. Stein: The Last Promethean is a hell of a story about the last imagined descendant of Dr. Frankenstein's wretch-the spurned monster. It offers struggle and pathos¸ pain and absolution¸ deception and deliverance. Reminiscent of Neil Gaiman's Shadow Moon from American Gods ¸ Francis Stein is a slow thinking giant of a man who attracts attention wherever he goes. Stein seems cursed with bad luck¸ and trouble waits for him around every turn in spite of his good intentions.
