Jane Eyre meets Frankenstein.

Jane has never asked Thornfield Hall to make sense. The sounds from the locked floor at night, the housekeeper's careful non-answers, the master's grief that sits behind his charm like a second person in the room. Jane has survived worse than a house with secrets. What she has never faced before is loving a man who has done something she cannot forgive... but cannot stop trying to.

Edward Rochester did not lock a madwoman in his attic. He locked away the thing he built there. A living being, assembled in grief and brilliance, and a desperate refusal to accept his young son's death, four years and one terrible secret ago. It became something he never intended to create: articulate, self-aware, lonelier than anything Jane has ever met, and entirely uncertain what it owes the man who made it, or what he owes it in return.

When Jane finally climbs the stairs she has been told never to climb, she does not find a monster. She finds a question neither Brontë nor Shelley had to answer alone: what does a person made rather than born have the right to demand? And what does loving the man who made him cost the woman who loves him?

The Creature in the Attic keeps Jane's unflinching, self-examining voice exactly as it should be, and asks it to confront what neither novel could explore on its own. This is gothic romance with its conscience fully switched on, where the horror is not a monster in the dark but the weight of what one brilliant, frightened man was willing to do for love.

Book Two of the Collision Canon. A series in which the greatest novels ever written begin, one book at a time, to bleed into each other.
