[first lines]
« Mary Shelley: Knock, knock. Who's there? It's me, Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein. I know everyone loves it, but darlings, that wasn't the half of it. What I wanted to write, what I needed to say, I couldn't. I couldn't even think it. Then I got a cancer of the brain and I couldn't write at all, so I died. Immediately I woke to find myself here, wherever the fuck here is. And here I've stayed for centuries, trying to find some way of getting this tumor, this dream, this story out of my head. Darlings, something is cracking. The words are beginning to come. Is it a ghost story? A horror story? Or most frightening of all, a love story?

Plots:
In 1930s Chicago, Frankenstein asks Dr. Euphronius to help create a companion. They give life to a murdered woman as the Bride, sparking romance, police interest, and radical social change.
A lonely Frankenstein travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police and a wild and radical cultural movement.
Chicago, 1936. Bearing the scars of defiance on his freakishly strong body, Frankie feels tired of dodging bullets and escaping the mob. Now, the man on the run is desperate for connection and a soulmate to share the burden of existence. And the brilliant Dr Euphronius must deliver, like it or not. After all, the blasphemous goal may sound impossible, but it has happened before. However, as Ida steps into the picture, doubts emerge: Undoubtedly, she is beautiful in her own strange way, but is she what Frankie wants? Born dead in a dangerous world, two stowaways of life who cheated death have one shot at making it work. But what if Ida is nobody’s bride?
