 WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL PRIZE FOR ARABIC FICTIONA SATIRICAL REIMAGINING OF MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN SET IN MODERN-DAY BAGHDAD, BRILLIANTLY CAPTURING THE HORROR OF A CITY AT WARFrom the rubble-strewn streets of US-occupied Baghdad, Hadi collects body parts from the dead, which he stitches together to form a corpse. He claims he does it to force the government to recognise the parts as real people, and give them a proper burial. But when the corpse goes missing, a wave of eerie murders sweeps across the city, and reports stream in of a horrendous-looking, flesh-eating monster that cannot be killed.

At first it's the guilty he attacks, but soon it's anyone who crosses his path... 'A remarkable book' ObserverWINNER OF THE KITSCHIES GOLDEN TENTACLE AWARDSHORTLISTED FOR THE ARTHUR C.
