    New York: Scout Press / Simon and Schuster, (2022). First edition - A novel inspired by Frankenstein which combines two time lines - in the late 1970s and the present day. "In 1978, Vi and Eric live with their grandmother Dr. Helen Hildreth on the grounds of the Hillside Inn, a private hospital in Vermont that specializes in a holistic, humanistic approach to healing the mentally ill. When Dr. Hildreth brings home a young patient named Iris, the children are both fascinated and repelled by her. . A curious child, Vi begins to wonder whether Iris might be the mysterious Patient S her grandmother has written about in secret case notes. Forty years later, Lizzy Shelley, a researcher and podcaster who has recently entered the public eye by consulting on the TV show Monsters Among Us, follows a lead that brings her close to a monster shes been seeking for some time, a monster that abducts young girls while hiding behind local legends, a monster who is leading her back to Vermont and the Hillside Inn. Like Dr. Frankenstein's infamous creation, the novel is a patchwork of narrative voices and styles, combining Vi, Eric, Iris, and Helens story in 1978; Lizzys search in 2019; excerpts from a tell-all book, The True Story of the Hillside Inn; excerpts from The Book of Monsters, created by the children in 1978; and the voice of the Monster herself. Though the question asked is not a new one - 'Who is the real monster? The creature being made, or the one creating it?' - McMahon succeeds admirably in building real chills and a surprising twist." (Kirkus) 338 pp. Publisher's material laid in.
