Fred Saberhagen/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Fridge Brilliance

  • The Frankenstein Papers by Fred Saberhagen: In the end, the "monster" is revealed to be an alien who lost his memory from a lightning strike. I found it good, but rather weird; there had been hints that Frankenstein couldn't reanimate the dead, but I never saw that coming. I was halfway out the driveway when I realized that when the original book was written, it was science fiction. Which makes it pure brilliance that the author uses a modern science fiction trope (eg, aliens) in his rendition. -User:Pom Rania
