Andrew Croose Mad Scientist: The True Story Of The Real Doctor Frankenstein

Nick Redfern

ANDREW CROSSE WAS KNOWN AS "THE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING MAN"

MARY SHELLEY IS SAID TO HAVE BASED HER NOVEL ON THIS VERY STRANGE PERSON!

DID HE CREATE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF LIFE IN HIS LABORATORY? OR WAS HE DELUSIONAL? OR A COMPLETE FRAUD?

His contemporaries in the scientific community were puzzled by the very nature of his experiments. And, while the eye does not deceive, they were unable to duplicate his findings or reproduce under controlled conditions the striking life forms that were plainly visible and moving around Crosse's laboratory workbench.

To the farmers in the area surrounding Crosse's palatial Fyne Court, he quickly became recognized as a heretic dabbling in dark areas that led him to be on the receiving end of a significant number of irate letters from God-fearing folks who summarily and loudly accused him of blasphemy, or even trying to replace their God as the ultimate Creator.

The contentions of the nearby country people were only compounded by Andrew's ability to capture bolts of lightning and direct them through miles of copper wire he had strung across poles and through the trees all around his estate.

Events reached a boiling point when Crosse began to receive anonymous death threats. There were some who firmly blamed him for the year's crop failure, and there was even a demand for an exorcism of the entire area!

Here, in his own words, Andrew Crosse describes in great detail his life and times, and the experiments that caused such great controversy in his day. . .and continue to frighten and bewilder us even now! In a breathtaking update, paranormalist Nick Redfern and author Sean Casteel take us behind the scenes to detail Crosse's relationship with Marry Shelley, the creator of the novel, "Frankenstein: A Modern Prometheus!" as well as the state of cloning in the modern world.

Included in this work are a synopsis of the classic novel with a large number of teasers and lobby posters from numerous movies based on the story of Doctor Frankenstein.
