Author Bio: Joseph Covino Jr. is a thoroughly creative, multi-genre novelist who resolutely repudiates pigeonholing-with no pretensions of ever becoming a pompous "author"-who devoutly aspires to stay solely a writer who writes epic, cinematic fiction capable of transporting his readers by sensory-and thought-provoking prose to other exciting, entertaining, enchanting, entrancing but untried and untrodden realities. His books include the fabulous romantic-adventure fantasy, Arabian Nights Lost: Celestial Verses I & II, two parts of an intended trilogy, and Frankenstein Resurrected, a literally soul-searching, retelling sequel to Mary Shelley's classic. His scathing satire on political correctness is titled, Berkeley Bashed: Victim's Guide to the Backward, Barbaric, Butt-Ugly Bog.
Description: Frankenstein Resurrected is the first part to an ambitious epic trilogy creatively adapting and combining the characters and scenarios of the celebrated horror classics, Frankenstein and Dracula, preserving the original stories of both perfectly intact without corrupting or distorting either. This initial entry sets the stage for a literally soul-searching retelling of the Frankenstein tale-a provocative saga of ultimate human arrogance and inevitable vengeance as monster challenges his maker-by fleshing out those narrative elements which Mary Shelley only sketched while directly confronting what she carefully skirted: the deeply profound mystery and secret of the human spirit itself.
