This is the official announcement for the slate of artists and writers participating in this year’s Unfashioned Creatures, A Frankenstein anthology, a collection of comic art and stories inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein!
Unfashioned Creatures is a comic art anthology of original works inspired by Mary Shelley’s classic novel, “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.” The artists and writers were challenged to dig into the themes and characters that make Shelley’s Frankenstein such an enduring work, and to create original graphic tales of folly, foibles, and hubris, both human and monster alike.
This collection is a sister title to Red Stylo’s previous anthologies, Shakespeare Shaken and The Poe Twisted Anthology. And once again…we’ve grown! Unfashioned Creatures will be a full-color trade paperback with an expanded collection of digital offerings online! Monsters need a lot of space to lurch around, after all, plus Frankenstein’s monster was nothing if not multi-media.
