Query: Lost Souls: Compares to Frankenstein in Style and Quality

As soon as I began reading Lost Souls, I was vividly reminded of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. The two novels have many similarities, namely that the central character in both novels is a misfit in modern society who takes to roaming the countryside in search of their identity. Like Frankenstein, Lost Souls is full of intense, captivating imagery and has a multiple-threaded story line which converges at the end of the novel. Also like Frankenstein, Lost Souls occasionally experiences inconsistancies in style, and some of the characters are not quite as dynamic as they could be. Overall, however, Lost Souls is a very strong first novel for Poppy Z. Brite and it is well worth the read.
