A literary gothic, in the tradition of Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea
and Valerie Martin's Mary Reilly. A startling new sequel to Mary
Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein. Told from the perspective of the
girl Victor Frankenstein transformed into a Bride for his monster. To a
tiny island in the Scottish Orkneys, peopled by a devout community of
twenty, comes Victor Frankenstein, driven there by a Devil's bargain: to
make a wife for the Creature who is stalking him across Europe. In this
darkly-wrought answer to Frankenstein, we hear the untold tale of the
monster's wife through the perspective of the doctor's housemaid.
