The Creatures Lament is an original charcoal pencil drawing of the Frankenstein family tomb, which comes complete with a copy of the story by Sean Walter from our gothic horror anthology. The mausoleum I used for this illustration was in one of the 'magnificent seven' great cemeteries of London. I photographed what is still one of my favourite monuments of all time but hadn't done anything with it until Sean put forward his idea for a continuation of the Frankenstein story. It was a natural fit - I kept the forbidding lines and dark tones of the original tomb but adjusted the proportions to bring it in line with the story location and, of course, changed the name.
