1 author picked M is for Monster as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This modern Frankenstein retelling is so compelling. Told in graphic novel format, M Is for Monster is a YA story about two scientist sisters.
After the younger sister dies in a lab accident, her older sibling reanimates her. The problem is that “M” does not remember who she was before. She knows herself to be a wholly new person.
I love how Talia Dutton uses the Frankenstein story to explore grief, sibling relationships, and the sovereignty of the body. As in Mary Shelley’s classic novel, the question posed here is: Who is the real monster, the creator or the creature?
