Kris Waldherr

A post-mortem photographer unearths dark secrets of the past that may hold the key to his future, in this captivating debut novel in the gothic tradition of Wuthering Heights and The Thirteenth Tale. All love stories are ghost stories in disguise. When famed Byronesque poet Hugh de Bonne is discovered dead of a heart attack in his bath one morning, his cousin Robert Highstead, a historian turned post-mortem photographer, is charged with a simple task: transport Hugh’s remains for burial in a chapel. This chapel, a stained glass folly set on the moors of Shropshire, was built by de Bonne sixteen years earlier to house the remains of his beloved wife and muse, Ada. Since then, the chapel has been locked and abandoned, a pilgrimage site for the rabid fans of de Bonne’s last book, The Lost History of Dreams. However, Ada’s grief-stricken niece refuses to open the glass chapel for Robert unless he agrees to her bargain: before he can lay Hugh to rest, Robert must record Isabelle’s story of Ada and Hugh’s ill-fated marriage over the course of five nights. As the mystery of Ada and Hugh’s relationship unfolds, so does the secret behind Robert’s own marriage—including that of his fragile wife, Sida, who has not been the same since the tragic accident three years ago, and the origins of his own morbid profession that has him seeing things he shouldn’t—things from beyond the grave. Kris Waldherr effortlessly spins a sweeping and atmospheric gothic mystery about love and loss that blurs the line between the past and the present, truth and fiction, and ultimately, life and death.

"Mary Shelley herself would be deeply moved by this dark tale of revenge and redemption." -Stephanie Marie Thornton, USA Today bestselling author of And They Called It Camelot "A brilliant and feminist companion to a classic. Kris Waldherr's electrifying novel brings the women in Victor Frankenstein's life to the foreground, reminding us that the most interesting stories are often the ones that go untold."-Megan Collins, author of The Family Plot Some tales aren't what you think. For the first time, the untold story of the three women closest to Victor Frankenstein is revealed in a dark and sweeping reimagining of Frankenstein by the author of The Lost History of Dreams and Doomed Queens. THE MOTHER Caroline Frankenstein will do anything to protect her family against the nightmarish revolutions engulfing 18th-century Europe. In doing so, she creates her own monster in the form of her scientist son, Victor. THE BRIDE Rescued by Caroline as a four-year-old beggar, Elizabeth Lavenza knows the only way she can repay the Frankensteins is by accepting Victor's hand in marriage. But when Elizabeth's heart yearns for someone else, the lives of those she most loves collide with the unnatural creature born of Victor's profane experiments. THE SERVANT After an abusive childhood, Justine Moreau is taken in by Caroline to serve the Frankensteins. Justine's devotion to Caroline and Elizabeth knows no bounds . . . until a tragedy changes her irrevocably. Her fate sets her against Victor's monster, who is desperate to wreak revenge against the Frankensteins. Stunningly written and exquisitely atmospheric, Unnatural Creatures shocks new life into Mary Shelley's beloved gothic classic by revealing the feminine side of the tale. You'll never view Victor Frankenstein and his monster the same way again.

Goddess Tarot Deck

Píše se rok 1850. Slavný básník Hugh de Bonne je nalezen mrtev v koupelně hotelového pokoje. Úkolem postarat se o pohřeb je pověřen jeho bratranec Robert Highstead, historik, který se nyní živí jako fotograf zesnulých. Ohledně pohřbu zanechal Hugh de Bonne přesné instrukce: chce spočinout ve zvláštní skleněné kapli, kterou nechal před lety vybudovat pro svou milovanou manželku a múzu Adu. Ta je pro všechny návštěvníky – zejména pak pro houf básníkových obdivovatelů, kteří se nazývají Poutníky – uzamčená a nedobytná. Jediný klíč od kaple vlastní Adina neteř Isabelle, ale ta ji odmítá odemknout, dokud Robert nesplní její podmínku a nevyslechne si během pěti večerů příběh osudové a tragické lásky mezi Hughem a Adou. Ztracená historie snů je poutavý viktoriánský román plný temných tajemství, vyprávějící o tom, jak tenká a nezřetelná může být hranice mezi láskou a nenávistí, snem a skutečností… a také mezi životem a smrtí.
