Father Of Frankenstein by Christopher Bram
Set in the 1950s, this novel delves into the tumultuous life of James Whale, the once-celebrated director of classic horror films like "Frankenstein" and "Bride of Frankenstein." As Whale grapples with the fading glory of his Hollywood career, he is haunted by memories of his past, including the traumas of World War I and the struggles of living as a gay man in a repressive era. The story unfolds through Whale's interactions with his new gardener, Clayton Boone, leading to an unexpected friendship that challenges societal norms and explores themes of identity, memory, and the haunting specters of one's past.
