The central figure of Mary Wolstencraft's novel, Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus (1818), about a scientist who revivifies the dead with electrical impulses transmitted through salt water, has been universally depicted in modern cinema and popular culture as having bolts at each side of his neck to keep his head erect, while the common myth of the immortal East European vampire, as depicted in Irish writer Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897), is of a Transylvanian creature with two sharp, hollow, incisor teeth, drinking hot, salty, red human blood from two holes punched at the neck.

Autorenporträt
Watched Sammy McIlroy's header hit the post in the defeat to Southampton, 0-1, at the Wembley FA Cup Final of 1977, and didn't have the words. Got a PhD in English at Hull University in 1993, and now Robin Bright's got some.
