This Broken Wondrous World by Jon Skovron 365 pages
"My fellow monsters," said Moreau. "No longer will we hide in the
shadows, cringing, cowardly, hiding our true potential. You see, the
humans do not view us as people. We must force them to expand their view
of personhood to include us. By any means necessary."
A
year ago, Boy, the son of Frankenstein's monster, had never even met a
human. Now he's living with his human "family", the descendants of Dr.
Frankenstein, in Switzerland. That is until the maniacal genius Dr.
Moreau, long-ago banished to a remote island for his crimes against
humanity, asks for Boy's help.
Moreau wants Boy to join his army
of animal/human hybrid creatures and help him overthrow human society.
Boy will do anything to save this broken, wondrous world from the war
that threatens to split it in two. But how much will he have to give up?
And is the world worth saving?

Man Made Boy by Jon Skovron
Man Made Boy by Jon Skovron 361 pages
Sixteen-year-old Boy's never left home. When you're the son of Frankenstein's monster and the Bride, it's tough to go out in public, unless you want to draw the attention of a torch-wielding mob. And since Boy and his family live in a secret enclave of monsters hidden under Times Square, it's important they maintain a low profile.
Boy's only interactions with the world are through the Internet, where he's a hacker extraordinaire who can hide his hulking body and stitched-together face behind a layer of code. When conflict erupts at home, Boy runs away and embarks on a cross-country road trip with the granddaughters of Jekyll and Hyde, who introduce him to malls and diners, love and heartbreak. But no matter how far Boy runs, he can't escape his demons—both literal and figurative—until he faces his family once more.
