Lifeline was having a pre-Christmas mini-bookfair, and I found this one one of the tables:
THE
MONSTER
MEN
Number Thirteen was what they called him--the latest and best of Dr. Von Horn's attempts to make life from lifeless chemicals. He found himself an almost-human on Von Horn's hideaway jungle island off the coast of Borneo. He saw the monsters that preceded him and grew used to those hideous mockeries of humanity.
Not until Number Thirteen met the American girl who was Von Horn's unwilling prisoner did he realize how different he was from the others.
Because, monster or not, he turned against his master and threw in his lot with the girl and his friends--in a desperate attempt to escape the island of terror.
Or, in soap opera parlance: Can a Frankenstein's monster find love with a mad scientist's beautiful daughter? This was first published in 1913, and alas, it shows.
