In a world torn by revolution and scientific ambition, three women find their lives entwined with the fate of Victor Frankenstein. Caroline, a devoted mother, will do anything to protect her family, even as her son’s genius turns monstrous. Elizabeth, a rescued orphan, repays the Frankensteins’ kindness by accepting a marriage that dooms her heart. Justine, a loyal servant, becomes both witness and victim to the tragedy that follows.
Through their intertwined stories of love, loyalty, and betrayal, the true cost of creation is revealed.
Named a Reader’s Digest Top 25 Book for Halloween and an Historical Novels Review Editors’ Choice, Kris Waldherr’s Unnatural Creatures breathes new life into Frankenstein through the voices of the women history tried to forget.
