''Monster: A Novel of Frankenstein'' is a horror novel by Dave Zeltserman. It tells the story from the creature's prespective.

Young apothecary Friedrich Hoffman is framed and executed for the murder of his fiancée, Johanna Klemmen.

Upon discovering he has been revived as a grotesque figure--and being abandoned by the man who created his new body, a medical student named Victor Frankenstein--Friedrich embarks on a journey which leads him to a depraved plot which involves both Frankenstein and the Creator/MarquisDeSade.
