About
A young Victorian woman unwittingly unleashes a monster into being in this gothic tale of medical mystery and sinister suspense, perfect for fans of A STUDY IN DROWNING and ANATOMY: A LOVE STORY.
When seventeen-year-old Dilly Rothbart finds her recently deceased father's hidden journal, her entire world is upended. For what she finds within are the steps to bring a dead soul back to life.
Intent on finishing her father's work and establishing herself as the greatest scientist in history, Dilly finds herself drawn into a medical underworld of corpse-stealing, grave-robbing, and even murder. And when her own twin sister steps in the way of her studies, she'll do whatever is necessary to secure the recognition she deserves.
This twisty, atmospheric Frankensteinian tale is about a group of ambitious young scientists who descend into corruption when a breakthrough discovery grants them the power of gods. Kathleen S. Allen is a young adult writer of gothic horror, historical, fantasy, and speculative fiction. She has published poems, short stories, novellas, and novels. Being from an urban setting means not much scares her. She prefers dark to light, salty to sweet, and tea to coffee. She is a fan of K-Pop, classic rock, and British detective shows. She lives in Los Angeles with a sassy Tortoiseshell cat.
