520    From the rubble-strewn streets of U.S.-occupied Baghdad, 
       Hadi—a scavenger and an oddball fixture at a local 
       café—collects 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 he’s created a 
       monster, one that needs human flesh to survive—first from 
       the guilty, and then from anyone in its path. A 
       prizewinning novel by “Baghdad’s new literary star” (The 
       New York Times), Frankenstein in Baghdad captures with 
       white-knuckle horror and black humor the surreal reality 
       of contemporary Iraq.
