Myers, Robert J

(1924-2011) US author of a short series – the Frankenstein sequence comprising The Cross of Frankenstein (1975) and The Slave of Frankenstein (1976) – in which the Frankenstein Monster is seen through a horror lens, with sf elements not emphasized (but see Horror in SF). The Virgin and the Vampire (1977) lacks any sf content. [JC]
