Frankenstein Resurrected is the first part to an ambitious epic trilogy creatively adapting and combining the characters and scenarios of the celebrated horror classics, Frankenstein and Dracula, preserving the original stories of both perfectly intact without corrupting or distorting either. This initial entry sets the stage for a literally soul-searching retelling of the Frankenstein tale-a provocative saga of ultimate human arrogance and inevitable vengeance as monster challenges his maker-by fleshing out those narrative elements which Mary Shelley only sketched while directly confronting what she carefully skirted: the deeply profound mystery and secret of the human spirit itself.

With the grisly murder of a famous true crime writer and author of Zodiac books, former San Francisco homicide inspector, Dave Toski, aka Unsavory Dave, is called out of retirement to consult with two city detectives trying to track down a latter-day Zodiac Killer, who may or may not be a copycat. At the same time, the city is plagued by a separate series of serial crimes committed by a rogue gang of Black Muslims trying to extort control of the very private security company employing Toski as its operations director.

"UWF: University of West("Worst")Florida Exposed! is the stark but timeless cautionary tale about a lone disadvantaged student's triumphant struggle-against the entire corrupt good old boy network of one imperious and puritanical state institution of lower learning-to preserve his First Amendment rights of free speech and expression. For several years in the late 1970s and early 1980s the justice-seeking convictions of a single student, who took a defiant stand against censorship and bureaucratic oppression, were pitted against the whole machinery of bureaucratic coercion mobilized against him in a combative war of conspiratorial plots and dirty tricks. Exposed are an era's vilest bureaucratic knaves and villains: Bennett, Byrkit, Campbell, Committe, Clark, Curtis, Doerr, Dye, Elebash, Ellsworth, Henderson, Hopkins, Hudnall, Latham, Maygarden, Miklovich, Miller, Ranelli, Robinson, Waltrip. Because the struggle for justice against evil-minded, malicious and vicious men is universal this true account is relevant and vital to the academic and educational careers of university students of any age." -- page [4] of cover.
