From the rubble-strewn streets of U.S.-occupied Baghdad, Hadiāa scavenger and an oddball fixture at a local cafĆ©ācollects human body parts and stitches them together to create a corpse. His goal, he claims, is for the government to recognize the parts as people and to give them proper burial. But when the corpse goes missing, a wave of eerie murders sweeps the city, and reports stream in of a horrendous-looking criminal who, though shot, cannot be killed. Hadi soon realizes heās created a monster, one that needs human flesh to surviveāfirst from the guilty, and then from anyone in its path. A prizewinning novel byĀ āBaghdadās new literary starā (The New York Times),Ā Frankenstein in Baghdad captures with white-knuckle horror and black humor the surreal reality of contemporary Iraq.
