One of the most exciting projects I have coming out in the second half of the year is Eternal Frankenstein, a Frankenstein-themed anthology edited by Ross E. Lockhart and to be published by Word Horde in October. The book will include my novelette, “The Human Alchemy.”

Ross has just revealed the cover, by Matthew Revert, and it’s a beauty!

Of this project, Word Horde says:

Two hundred years ago, a young woman staying in a chalet in Switzerland, after an evening of ghost stories shared with friends and lovers, had a frightening dream. That dream became the seed that inspired Mary Shelley to write Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, a tale of galvanism, philosophy, and the re-animated dead. Today, Frankenstein has become a modern myth without rival, influencing countless works of fiction, music, and film. We all know Frankenstein. But how much do we really know about Frankenstein?

This October, Word Horde will be publishing Eternal Frankenstein, an anthology edited by Ross E. Lockhart, paying tribute to Mary, her Monster, and exploring their entwined legacy.
