"This is a romp of a tale involving Jekyll and Hyde, hauntings, exorcisms, nuns, priests, monsters, the invisible man, vampires and zombies."
One day, Igor, Victor Frankenstein's long-suffering lab assistant, finally has enough and leaves the castle. He arrives at the local tavern where he meets Esmeralda, the landlord's daughter and barmaid, with secrets of her own. Esme's dad is a sleep murderer and responsible for a spate of deaths in the village, currently being investigated by Helsing the witchfinder. Igor gets a job as the undertakers assistant, and then as the undertaker, allowing him to perform double burials to hide the bodies from Esme's dads murders. So ensues a farce to put the locals off the scent, ending with Esme and Igor finally packing her dad off to a sanitorium. This is a romp of a tale involving Jekyll and Hyde, hauntings, exorcisms, nuns, priests, monsters, the invisible man, vampires and zombies. It was a very enjoyable read, though sometimes it did feel as though the author was trying a bit too hard to be clever with the prose, and character names.
