Dean Koontz's Frankenstein is the collective title of a trilogy of novels co-written by
Dean Koontz. Though technically of the
mystery or
thriller genres, the novels also feature the trappings of
horror,
fantasy, and
science fiction. Three volumes so far have been or are about to be published:
Prodigal Son, co-written with
Kevin J. Anderson, was published in 2004;
City of Night, co-written with
Ed Gorman, was published in 2005; and
Dead and Alive, co-written with
Ed Gorman, to be published in May, 2008 (or "Spring 2008", according to Dean Koontz). The most likely cause for these postponements is Hurricane Katrina, as Dean Koontz's Frankenstein is based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The author is not willing to change the setting of book three; the publisher (Bantam) is not willing to release book three, especially so soon after a major disaster; most importantly, neither party is willing to lose profit by just cancelling it.
