Our Hideous Progeny
by C.E. McGill
Lies cannot be rushed. They must be spun evenly and carefully. Too fast, and you risk tangling up the details; too slow and it sounds like a stage performance, scripted from the start.
Our Hideous Progeny by C.E. McGill
Quick Summary
The year is 1853, Victor Frankenstein has been missing for years, his great niece Mary Saville and her husband Henry are struggling to make ends meet and make their mark as palaeontologists.
Mary finds clues that point towards her great uncles disappearance, which leads her to a plan to bring her and her husband for the forefront of the scientific community.
Final Thoughts
The synopsis of this book sounded more interesting than the book itself. I'm not HUGE on historical fiction as a whole and gothic horror needs to be done in a certain way to keep me wanting more. This book gave me none of that. If you do enjoy classics such as Frankenstein, I do recommend this book to you as I believe it's written for. It is really well written but I just HATED how it dragged on, which happens a lot for me in classics.
