New Adventures of Frankenstein 4: Frankenstein Meets Dracula by Donald F. Glut

New Adventures of Frankenstein 4
Frankenstein Meets Dracula
by Donald F. Glut
1977 New English Library

Frankenstein's Monster and his buddy, former OGRE agent James Judson, travel to Transylvania in their atomic powered submarine where they accidentally revive Count Dracula. Drac enthralls Judson, forces them back to England, and starts a plan to kidnap Van Helsing's descendant and place his brain in the Monster's body.

Most of the story was setup, and the rest felt like an outline. The Count was suitably repugnant, but just not much going on to fill it out.

Bones of Frankenstein by Donald Glut

Bones of Frankenstein
New Adventures of Frankenstein 3
by Donald Glut
1977 New English Library

A communist general forces a sorcerer to resurrect the ghost of Frankenstein (the doctor) to raise an army of Frankensteins (the monsters).  The original Monster is psychically drawn there, where he and his buddy James Judson, former agent of OGRE from the last installment, hang out with the blind sister of a revolutionary.

Things come to a head at the castle where Dr. Frankenstein raises five more monsters, only to be confronted by the original and dynamite toting rebels.  Everything ends in a giant explosion, which we all know is the only foolproof way to kill a Frankenstein permanently.

Short, occasionally violent, and fun, though could have used a bit more story.

Terror of Frankenstein by Donald Glut

Terror of Frankenstein
by Donald Glut
New Adventures of Frankenstein 2

Following the first installment, scientist Burt Winslow and his fiancee Lynn Powell go to England, where Burt works on a cybernetically controlled robot to hunt down the Monster.  The Monster is rescued by agents of OGRE, a terrorist organization of men in faceless masks who perform public massacres in their war against beauty.

This here's the stuff.  It's very movie serial and comic book inspired, doesn't take itself too seriously, but doesn't try to get cute.  Right in the sweet spot.

Collected in The New Adventures of Frankenstein Collection Volume 1, paperback from Amazon.

The Cross of Frankenstein by Robert J. Myers

The Cross of Frankenstein
by Robert J. Myers
J.B. Lippincott 1975

Victor Frankenstein's secret son is recruited, and later kidnapped, by an orgiastic religious cult in America to produce the synthetic blood for the wounded Frankenstein Monster.

The prose is suitably old-timey, while the story has an adventure pulp feel, only stretched out to paperback length.  This was a titch tiresome through the first half of the book, which punctuated the capture/escape cycle with an extended rock climbing sequence.



At this point I was not expecting the Frankenpenis to make an appearance, but it does, as the monster bones Victor's gal during an orgy.  Things pick up after this, with Victor making his escape after blowing everybody up.

There's a weird moral tone of guilt to the whole book.  Victor is clearly not a nice man, but given that he's kidnapped and faced with a plot to create an army of undead, I'd give him a little leeway in the whole "blowing people up" department.

Frankenstein Wheel by Paul W. Fairman

Frankenstein Wheel
by Paul W Fairman
1972 Popular Library

Part of the Frankenstein Horror Series, a series of unrelated books with only this one having anything to do with Frankenstein.  Picks up years after the Mary Shelly original, and written in largely the same style.

It's well done, but takes a while to get moving.  A lot more literary than I was expecting from the cover.  The reference to wheels has to do with karma.  Here, Frankenstein's monster repeats the sins of his creator and has to pay for them similarly.
