THE DREADFUL DOCTOR FAUST by K. H. Koehler (2010 Bandersnatch Books / 47 pp / tp)
Poor Louise---you'd think being murdered and dumped into NY's East River would be punishment enough. But her body happens to wash ashore near an abandoned church, and an underground surgeon known simply as The Doctor recreates Louise in his own image, using his own experimental techniques.
The Doctor operates beneath the abandoned church, performing all types of surgeries (even helping to deliver babies) for the homeless and unfortunate who seek shelter. But he's not exactly a nice guy: we discover he's been kidnapping innocent victims since the Victorian era, and has discovered the secret to immortality through his surgery. Louise becomes his assistant, and the two make a demented pair worthy of any late-night schlock-fest.
A model, a bartender, and a high school janitor each fall victim to The Doctor's savage operations, and become part of his "body parts farm." While the story brought Gord Rollo's excellent novel THE JIGSAW MAN to mind, this one's done a bit quirkier and with a slightly gothic feel.
THE DREADFUL DOCTOR FAUST brought several b-movies to mind, especially the seldom seen HEADLESS EYES (1971), ANDY WARHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN (1973) and a personal favorite of mine, DOCTOR GORE (a.k.a. THE BODY SHOP---also 1973). There's a couple of truly gruesome situations here, and it's not a bad take on the mad doctor thing. But I had a hard time caring much for the three main victims, as little is revealed about their backgrounds. Louise, however, turns out to be even more interesting than The Doctor himself, and it all ends with the potential for a sequel.
If mad doctors are your thing, give FAUST a whirl. Others may find this a bit too familiar. Either way, it's plenty fun...
