200 years ago, Mary Shelley published Frankenstein, little realizing that it would become one of the most influential novels in the English language, and credited with creating the science fiction genre. Artists, writers, scientists, and thinkers of all kinds have continued to return to this book as inspiration over the past two centuries.

Rather than reinterpret or update the novel, we want to celebrate our creators' personal histories and relationships with Shelley’s landmark novel. We know firsthand the impact Frankenstein can have on readers, as both editors, Allison O'Toole (Wayward Sisters: An Anthology of Monstrous Women) and Megan Purdy (Bleating Hearts Press), are longtime fans. In this collection, we're excited to explore the places were our lives and literature connect.

With a cover by Richard Pace (Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham, Imaginary Fiends), we’re excited to bring you 100 pages of personal essays, illustrations, and comics by a fantastic team of creators.

The zine will be printed in Canada, and will be 6x9", black and white, and perfect bound.
