From acclaimed author K. Ancrum comes a queer romantic horror thriller that is a love letter to Frankenstein about the consequences of our decisions, the legacy of family, and the depths we’ll go to be forgiven.
Victor Frankenstein, a 17-year-old brilliant prodigy, wants his fellow university peers to finally take him seriously. After suffering a public humiliation over his wild academic theories, Victor makes a bet with the most popular student: he swears he will find the secret to human reanimation before graduation. Desperate and unwilling to be humiliated again, Victor does the unspeakable: he kidnaps a young man from a small, neighboring village and destroys his body using untried Alchemy, an advanced science he doesn’t fully grasp.
Elias Hilfiker awakens, horrified—his voice is gone, his skin is stitched and scarred, and his community has exiled him. Worse, Victor’s clumsy alchemy has unintentionally created a bond between Elias and his tormentor, forcing them to constantly feel each other’s emotions.
Enraged by the desecration of his life, Elias swears before God and Man that he will seek vengeance on Victor at any cost. Meanwhile, Victor embarks on a journey to reverse the horror he’s unleashed. As they cross the European landscape—hunter and hunted—Victor bows before the weight of his sins while Elias uncovers the secrets of his own power in a world where he was once powerless.
A tense, atmospheric illustration of the human capacity to be at once inconceivably kind and inexplicably cruel.
A deeply complex work that both shines on its own and offers a worthy,
respectful bow to the storied classic.
Both brutal and tender, this raw tale surges with palpable emotion as electric romantic chemistry simmers[…]
Ripe with poetic metaphors and threaded through with sweetness; a bruising and beautiful reimagining.

Age Rating
This book is recommended for older teens. While this book has highly accessible language, the themes are very mature and I do not recommend readers under 15 years of age consume this product. The characters in this book all range from 17-19 years of age.
This book would probably not be best for people who have sensitivity to suicidal ideation.
