In 1816, Elizabeth's life had been carefully planned for her. A home, a family, a life that she was trained to fill... and had never questioned if she wanted, until the future she expected was stolen from her. In the present day, Heqet “Heck” Saville's hopes and dreams have been destroyed, the life she was fighting for gone in an instant. Amid the devastation of her plans, she's determined to follow her lover to his new teaching post in Alaska. In order to do so, she succeeds in taking passage on a cruise ship bound for Juneau. During the voyage, Heck is intrigued by an enigmatic ship employee: a beautiful woman with yellowed skin and dark glasses. The mysterious figure proves to be Elizabeth Lavenza Frankenstein, wife of Victor, and she’s ready to tell someone what happened after her murder... Drawn together across time, Elizabeth Frankenstein and Heck Saville's parallel, intersecting stories encompass murder, loss, trauma and ultimately empowerment, in this stunning feminist riff on the story of Frankenstein. Melissa F. Olson is the author of more than a dozen books in the Old World universe, the PI mystery The Big Keep, and numerous short stories and novellas, including the Nightshades trilogy. Her previous novels have sold nearly two million copies, and her first comic book debuted in December 2024. She also published three horror novellas with Tor.com. “It’s rare to find a wholly new and enthralling take on a classic. Olson’s reconstruction brings an intriguing and valuable perspective to the tale.” – Adrian Tchaikovsky “Heartfelt, raw and atmospheric, this is Frankenstein made afresh, made real for right now. Enormously recommended.” – Paul Cornell "Melissa F. Olson writes with razorblades made of moonlight." – Charles de Lint The Other Frankenstein is available as a paperback, an ebook, and a limited edition hardback with each numbered copy signed by the author. |
