In this haunting retelling of the Frankenstein myth, Joe Egly breathes new (and undead) life into the Gothic tradition. Set in a bleak and crumbling world where science dances dangerously close to necromancy, What Once Was Flesh transforms Victor Frankenstein's ill-fated experiment into a horrific resurrection that unleashes a plague of the undead.
As flesh rots and souls fracture, Egly's monster is no longer just a patchwork of limbs and sorrow-but the key to a growing horror that threatens to consume all of Europe. With rich, fluid prose and unrelenting atmosphere, this reimagined tale explores what it means to live after death, to haunt and be haunted, and to endure in a world that refuses to remember you.
Perfect for fans of Gothic horror, literary reimaginings, and zombie apocalypse fiction, What Once Was Flesh turns the philosophical questions of Mary Shelley's original masterpiece into a gripping journey through blood, memory, and ruin.
This edition stands both as a tribute to and a transformation of Mary Shelley's legacy-one that asks not whether the dead can return, but whether they ever truly left.
