The next in the series of Doctor Who inspired Puffin Classics books.

He tidied his hair, smoothed down his vest, and extended a hand. 'Perhaps we can begin anew,' he said. 'Dr V. Frankenstein, at your service.'

When an unsettling folk tale leads the Ninth Doctor and Rose to a remote village in Wales, they get more than they bargained for.

A scientist has taken it upon himself to create new life - imitating Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a book that has sent shock waves around the country.

But, much like his fictional counterpart, this doctor is playing god, and with forces beyond his understanding. As the Doctor and Rose attempt to put the brakes on the experiment before it gets out of control, a sinister supernatural presence reveals itself . . .
