Think you can diagnose Dr. Frankenstein? "Horror on the Brain: The Neuroscience Behind Science Fiction," all about the science & psychology behind iconic characters of sci-fi/horror fiction, is out under $25. @docaustinlim.bsky.social #PrometheusBooks www.prometheusbooks.com/978149308478...

The cover of the book "Horror on the Brain: The Neuroscience Behind Science Fiction," with lurid, '50s comic-book style drawing of a terrified man's face staring into a movie camera, with black and red shock lines.
