The listing, Check Out My Book! The Man Who Became Frankenstein's Monster By Robert Daicy has ended.
So here's the deal. I'm auctioning an autographed copy of my first novel, The Man Who Became Frankenstein's Monster because Listia has been very good for me and I figure it's a great way to get the book out there a bit. Here's the synopsis:
New York, 1926‒Anyone can make a good life for themselves if they are just willing to work hard for it. William Barker is such a man. He has a good job, a nice house, a son named James, and a marriage he is trying desperately to hold together. After a tragic accident takes this life away, William finds himself alone in his house with terrible mental and physical scars that are a constant reminder of his loss.
With no one willing to employ a man with such visible and disturbing scars, William is lost and has no answers for how to move on. That is when he meets the man who will change that life forever: Roland Skelton, the energetic owner of Skelton’s Spectacular Traveling Carnival. Where others saw a man to be shunned, Roland recognizes a man he may be able to help.
Roland convinces William to join the Carnival as the headliner of the ten-in-one. The aroma of roasting peanuts and sugary lemonade, the splendor of colorful light bulbs illuminating the night sky, and the sound of the calliope blasting for all to hear lure William into this new world of excess. Dubbed Frankenstein’s Monster, William is a hit with the paying audience and finds that being onstage is a release from his pain and guilt. In time, William realizes those he works with understand him more than he could have dared hope and while working at the carnival, William finds acceptance, a jealous enemy, and even love. The Man Who Became Frankenstein’s Monster is a moving novel about a man who rises above adversity set against the backdrop of the golden age of the carnival. 486 Pages.
