His goal, he claims, is for the government to recognize the parts as people and to give them proper burial. But when the corpse goes missing, a wave of eerie murders sweeps the city, and reports stream in of a horrendous-looking criminal who, though shot, cannot be killed. Hadi soon realizes he’s created a monster, one that needs human flesh to survive—first from the guilty, and then from anyone in its path. A prizewinning novel by “Baghdad’s new literary star” (The New York Times), Frankenstein in Baghdad captures with white-knuckle horror and black humor the surreal reality of contemporary Iraq.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epic Quest Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51140239950098,"sku":"9780143128793","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0841\/8905\/3202\/files\/9780143128793.jpg?v=1743280378","url":"https:\/\/www.epicquestbooks.store\/products\/frankenstein-in-baghdad-a-novel","provider":"Epic Quest Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
