Excerpt: Sir Ronald Ross KCB (13 May 1857 16 September 1932) was a British-Indian physician, of English and Scottish parentage. Ross was born in Almora, India. He was the eldest son of General Sir Campbell Claye Grant Ross of the Indian Army and Matilda Charlotte Elderton (d. 1906), daughter of Edward Merrick Elderton, a London solicitor. His grandfather was Lieutenant Colonel Hugh Ross. At the age of eight, Ross was sent to England for his education. After completing his early education in two small schools at Ryde, he was sent to a boarding school at Springhill, near Southampton in 1869. Ross commenced his study of medicine at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London on 29 October 1875. He passed his final examination in 1880 and qualified as MRCS and LSA. He joined the Indian Medical Service in 1881. His first posting was in Madras. Ross studied malaria between 1881 and 1899. He worked on malaria in Calcutta at the Presidency General Hospital where he was ably assisted by Kishori Mohan Bandyopadhyay, a Bengali Indian scientist. Ross built a bungalow with a laboratory at Mahanad village (about 4 km from Pandua Railway Station on the Bandel-Burdwan line). He used to stay in the village from time to time, collecting mosquitoes in Mahanad and adjoining villages and conducting research. In 1883, Ross was posted as the Acting Garrison Surgeon at Bangalore during which time he noticed the possibility of controlling mosquitoes by controlling their access to water.

An anthology in parts.The first is an introduction that has a short extract from Frankenstein, and various other early looks at variants on that theme, including the non-horrific and a spoof.The Future Eve is a short novel, even if it mentions it is a novelette in the intro.

Then various treatments for stage and screen, including a play, and finally 'the archetypes' which includes monsters that may have inspired Shelley such as the Golem, and some other more recent stories that actually deal with the Monster or Frankensteins directly.

Each piece is given an historical overview beforehand.

and more stars also!!!!
It is not always possible to find a book in which there are as many goodexamples of the genre as possible about the same topic.This book satisfiesmy hunger for that.Many of the stories not only entertain you but also makeyou think,argue with the others and imagine further (as those great writersin the book once did) about the great mystery of the nature:Life!!!In someof the stories,analogies had been excellently set (as in Dial "F"For Frankenstein by A.C. Clarke) and considering all the works edited onecan see the different implications and consequences of the man playinggod,creating life (e.g romance in Future Eve,horror in The Reanimatoretc.).We have to thank Peter Haining for so many great writers in onebook,so do not miss it on earth! ...
