When Dr. Oinkter Drankenswine receives a mysterious letter from pal Portly Swineherd urging him to come to Darmstadt to take up his family's EVIL legacy, he's reluctant to go, after all he lectures to would-be pig doctors at the famed Pigglehoof Conservatory. The Frankenswine name is already very muddied by his cousin, Victor.

He goes, however, and is met at the train station by the most bumbling assistant ever...HOGOR, a strange little imp. The two set move right into Castle Frankenswine and set out to create the perfect monster on one stormy night.

Dr. Frankenswine is the spoof of the horror classic, Frankenstein, using all pig characters and lots of laughs for readers.
