About This Item
The Bride of Frankenstein (Sequel to Frankenstein), Egremont Michael (Maurice Desmond Rohan; Pseudonym Michael Harrison). Published by Bookfinger, New York, 1976. Introduction by George Locke. (i-v)., 252pp. with half title, title, publisher, table of contents. Reprint of the 1936 original Queensway Press Edition of The Readers Library Publishing Company of London.

The novel was based on the James Whale film "The Bride of Frankenstein" (1935) starring Elsa Lanchester and Boris Karloff. After the movie was completed, Michael Harrison was commissioned to produce a novel from the original film script. Given only three weeks to produce a finished work, Harrison (Egremont) ultimately abandoned the script and produced what "was to all intents and purposes original fiction."
Michael Egremont was a one time only pen name for UK detective and fantasy author Maurice Desmond Rohan (1907-1991) who regularly used the pen name Michael Harrison. Under the pen name Michael Harrison, he published seventeen novels between 1934 and 1954. He wrote pastiches of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Poe's C. Auguste Dupin and was a noted Sherlock Holmes scholar.
