Spike Milliganβs interpretation of Mary Shelleyβs *Frankenstein*. Although the narrative unfolds along the familiar lines, there are some distinguishing features, for example the monsterβs desperate need for a cigarette, profuse swearing, and love of sausages, mash and mushy peas.

β¦ Synopsis
How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? There was the bolt that affixed his neck to his spine, there were the screws holding his forehead to his skull; but now was the moment of truth. I plunged the electrodes into his rectum and switched on the current. He gave a groan and he was alive! He spoke as he sat up, βHave you got a fag mate?β My God, I had given birth to a nicotine junky! I handed him the cigarette which I lit, then leaping off the table he stood there. But, alas, we had forgotten one thing. He had no support for his trousers which fell to the floor revealing his manhood in all its glory. If any women saw them they would be leaving their husbands in thousands. Quickly I got some string round his trousers. What had I done? No mortal could support the horror of that countenance! I rushed downstairs, to seek refuge in a cupboard where I remained during the rest of the night walking up and down in great agitation, something difficult to do in a cupboard.
