It lives! I'one thousand thrilled to share the encompass of UNNATURAL CREATURES: A Novel of the Frankenstein Women past Kris Waldherr, a woman I've known for some time at present in the writing world and deeply admire for all her creative talents. Amid other things, she is also the author of a book I immensely enjoyed, The Lost History of Dreams (Atria).
I'm so excited for her newest endeavor! UNNATURAL CREATURES reveals the untold story of the three women closest to Victor Frankenstein in a dark and sweeping reimagining of Frankenstein. Stunningly written and exquisitely atmospheric, information technology shocks new life into Mary Shelley'south beloved gothic archetype by revealing the feminine side of the tale—you'll never run into Victor Frankenstein and his monster the aforementioned manner again.
Correct? Gorgeous!! As well-nigh of you know, besides working equally an editor and PR consultant in publishing, I'm a reader of both genres in which I piece of work too – horror (especially beloved gothic) and history, and as well, enjoy learning nearly women in history. This volume ticks so many pleasance boxes for me! I've added to my GoodReads and yous should too.

About the Cover –
I was really interested in how Kris said she created the embrace so I wanted to share with readers.
"The cover was designed past me in Photoshop. The central photograph of the woman is by Rekha Garton, which I collaged over ii photographs, one of the Alps virtually whereFrankenstein takes identify and the other of an electric tempest. The imagery is meant to provide a feminist counterpoint toWanderer above the Sea of Fog, a famed oil painting by the German Romantic creative person Caspar David Friedrich. It's also a painting that'south often used on paperback editions ofFrankenstein."
Cool, isn't it? If you've seen the Dover Thrift Editions using this painting, you might see how she took back the feminine ability for hers. I love it!
I'm broken-hearted to encounter how the self-publishing endeavor goes for Kris and for the start of her own publishing press! So many authors are doing the hybrid method now – a mixture of traditional big four or small press and self-published. If you take the means to do information technology correct, it'southward a great choice to requite you ultimate control of your work. Congratulations, Kris!
