«Frankenstein» is a collection of science fiction short stories by seven female authors, including Pilar Adón, edited by Fernando Marías (451 Editores, paperback).
Based on Mary Shelley's novel, seven contemporary female authors —Pilar Adón, Lola Beccaria, Ángeles Caso, Espido Freire, Irene Gracia, Paula Izquierdo and Lourdes Ventura— offer new perspectives on the Frankenstein myth: the creature as a reflection of scientific ambition, its rebellion against the creator, and the ethical dilemmas of knowledge.
The volume was published in 2008 within the 451 Re.make collection by 451 Editores. It brings together seven short stories and a graphic narrative illustrated by Santiago Sequeiros.
For those who enjoy reinterpretations of classics and short fiction by contemporary Spanish female authors.
