John Paterson’s Reviews > The Friendship of Mortals > Status Update

Audrey Driscoll’s skillful and interesting writing in her novel The Friendship of Mortals drew me in and kept me turning pages.
It's 1910. A charismatic doctor, his devoted assistant, and an ancient formula that can restore life to the dead, strikes a chord reminiscent of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but Driscoll injects a unique and fresh take on this classic fascination.
I highly recommend this book.

Charles Milburn, a mild-mannered library cataloger takes a job at Mistatonic University, located near Arkham, a dark backwater town. Herbert West, is a charismatic medical student who believes he has found the secret of restoring life to the dead. Milburn agrees to assist West in procuring corpses A very captivating book that keeps you turning pages until late at night.
