The Frankencast is getting back to its roots, baby! We got a movie with Frankenstein in the title, we got the Delacey family, we got Victor and Elizabeth Frankenstein on their wedding night.

We thought we'd start sharing the first few minutes of our Patreon episodes here on the main feed to give everyone a taste of what you can expect if you join us at patreon.com/thefrankencast. This week over on Patreon, we've reached the final section of Kiersten White's brilliant retelling of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Turns out that the previous sections set a lot of things in motion that now have perfectly come together into a series of incredible twists. Here we reveal the truth about Elizabeth's desires, Victor's past and his intention for the future, and of course we finally meet Frankenstein's Monster, who has been lurking in the margins up to this point.

This section covers Part 2 of the novel, which covers familiar territory from Shelley's novel, particularly the deaths of William and Justine. Seeing it all from Elizabeth's side is all the more heartbreaking too.

Amanda and Jenn give more holiday gift recommendations in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by the Book Riot Read Harder Journal and our True Story giveaway. Feedback Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya Land of Burning Heat by Judith van Gieson Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel Euphoria by Lily King Questions 1. I am looking for a book to put me in a better mood. This Christmas will mark the one year anniversary of my sisters death, the doctors don’t expect my dad to make it to New Years, and I told a boy I loved him only to have him totally ghost on me. Also I bought a house and my best friend roommate is a great friend and a less great roommate. I read all the time. But I am stumped on what might cheer me up. I’m a pretty dedicated listener to all the book riot podcasts so if you recommend already and I thought I’d like it, I’ve probably already read it (ie Queen of the Night/ Sorcerer to the Crown). I like a lot of things, but mostly fantasy/ magical realism. Really into the American And French Revolution. (I already have Little on my TBR) Favorite authors include Neil Gaiman, Alice Hoffman, nk jemisin, Kelly Link and Cathryn Valente. Also true crime. Sci fi if it’s in the vein of Becky Chambers and Douglas Adams. I am obsessed with the Night Circus. I love Buffy and doctor who and game of thrones. Nothing with sad old people, surprise brain cancer (ie Storied life of AJ Fikry) or quirky beta males. I read ya, not so much romance, but who even knows anymore! --Jenny 2. I need a new author. A few of my favorite books include Ocean at the End of the Lane, Museum of Extraordinary Things, and Remarkable Creatures. I like unusual history or science, and interesting characters. Nothing too romance-y, or too magical. --Stefanie 3. Hello! I’m a prolific reader of mysteries, cozies, thrillers, true crime, and more, but the genre I want to explore more is graphic novels. I’m currently reading Sheets by Brenna Thummler, and I’m enjoying it a lot. I've read Fun Home, Maus, Persepolis, and Embroideries. I’m not into superheroes or any manga, and I’m open to some YA but prefer adult stories. I’d love a response before Christmas if possible, so I know what books to tell my family I want. Thank you! --Becky 4. Hey Amanda and Jenn, this is Lizzy from Munich. I am writing this email to surprise a friend who read „All the birds singing“ from Evie Wylde and is dealing with withdrawal symptoms ever since – as you have recommended it before, I am sure you can relate :) I read the book as well as per her recommendation and I think what she liked about it particularly was the intricate prose, the heartbreaking plot itself, but most of all the intelligent way the story is woven – she generally loves novels with a structure the intertwines past and present. Other favorites of hers are the Goldfinch, A little life, When women were birds and she also really likes Haruki Murakami. Can you recommend something that will fill the hole in her heart? This will be the perfect Christmas gift for this year. Thank you so much in advance :) Keep up the good work and warmest greetings from Germany, --Lizzy 5. This year for Christmas I'm trying to buy a book for each family member. But am stuck on my FIL! Last year he requested Brene Brown's 'rising strong' book. And on his shelf is Strengths Finder 2.0. He reads a lot of 'The Economist' and enjoys non fiction most. But I am so stuck on what to get him. Any recommendations? --Tory 6. Hi guys! Thank you for all you do!! One the last books I need for this year's Book Riot Read Harder challenge is a romance by a person of color. My trouble is that I am so, so tired of many common romance tropes. I understand why they're popular, but I'm just burned out on them. This includes love triangles, mysterious and/or brooding men, and characters who hate each other but then fall in love. I'd really love one where the leads are just two competent people living their lives and facing down the plot, and their relationship starts as friends or colleagues before it becomes romantic. I also prefer sci-fi and fantasy, which really narrows the field. Help! --Tired of the Tropes 7. Hi Jenn and Amanda, If possible, could I get a rec by mid-December, so I can buy this book as a Christmas present? My brother just rediscovered reading and has been flying through a bunch of political nonfiction (scary times). He just visited the Imperial War Rooms and Bunker in London and lovedddddd everything about the museum, so I want to get him a book on Churchill. There are so many biographies on Churchill that I didn't really know where to start, but I've heard Amanda talk about a few Churchill books before (love the podcast; I've listened to every episode and you've introduced me--and my TBR--to so many good books) so I thought you might have some ideas. I'm not looking for a book written by Churchill, but maybe a biography of him or a historical book about the war years or his general service in the British government? Thanks so much for your help! And from a former bookseller who knows how hard it is to find the books people are looking for, can I just say that you ladies are doing the Lord's work?

In her novel, The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein, young adult author Kiersten White retells Mary Shelley's classic. In White's book, we get the story from Elizabeth Lavenza—the childhood companion and then wife of scientist Victor Frankenstein. Kiersten White closely follows the outline of Shelley's Frankenstein, but by changing the point of view to Elizabeth, we get another story entirely about Victor Frankenstein, the monster, and Elizabeth herself. For this Halloween podcast, Kiersten and I talk about the original Frankenstein, Mary Shelley's singular life, and the challenges and fun of taking this well-known classic tale, telling it from a different perspective, and finding a story that hadn't been told before.

I am back from ICON with a great new episode featuring book designer and art director Regina Flath! She gives a nice overview of how Penguin Random House chooses illustrators, what they are looking for and how often they use stock images, illustration or their own photoshoots for book covers. One of her latest, The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White is among her favorite recent projects. Regina is also mom to an adorable toddler. She takes us through an epic year of getting and being pregnant as well as dealing with a host of medical issues that came up for both her and her daughter along the way. Fortunately, everyone is healthy and thriving now. Regina also mentioned that sometimes parents are the best artists to work with because they are GREAT at time management and at keeping their art directors abreast of what's happening as it relates to the timeline of the project. Go parents! If you haven't heard yet, Creative Playdate now has it's own social media presence. You can follow the show on Instagram @creative_playdate_podcast and on Twitter @PlaydatePodcast. I've also created a Facebook Group where we can talk all things parenting and illustration and design and everything else. In the future I will be putting out a call for questions when I am interviewing a new guest, so I hope you will participate and get in some questions I might not have thought about. Thank you all for listening and thank you to Thomas James and Jason Ritz for the theme music. Illustration Age is our proud syndicate, so check them out as well.
