Frankenstein: Parodical Son by Dean Koontz

Koontz revives the horror classic. Two hundred years after the events immortalized by Mary Shelley, comes a new adventure. The Monster has been secluded in a Tibetan monastery when word comes to him that his creator, Victor Frankenstein, is also still alive in New Orleans. His quest to fight the Natural Order is still alive and the good doctor has been creating more creatures in a plan to over-throw mankind. With two detective allies, they must track down one creature who has malfunctioned and has begun a killing spree.

Perfect story for anyone who loves atmospheric and haunting tales that the classics brought us. Koontz brings it to life in spades. And this is the first of three books.
