The Shadow Beneath Ingolstadt

Frankenstein's Gothic horror meets H. P. Lovecraft's otherworldly entities in a thrilling fusion of both classic works.

Reeling from the loss of his mother, seventeen-year-old Victor Frankenstein vows to conquer death before it claims anyone else he loves. When Victor attends Ingolstadt University and discovers a murdered professor's research on reviving the dead, he's certain salvation is within reach. There's just one problem: the research is incomplete. What Victor revives is a mockery of life.

Victor's volatile schoolmate Joseph Curwen, who has his own alchemical methods of reanimation, might be the only person Victor can turn to if he wants to defeat death. Even if Curwen is one excuse away from making Victor his next experiment. Yet the two reanimators cannot afford to be enemies. Ingolstadt is rife with dangers that threaten to devour them both—and the rest of humanity.

Their alliance is the only hope for survival, but they must survive each other first.

Blending Frankenstein's themes of unchecked obsession with Lovecraft's cosmic dread, The Shadow Beneath Ingolstadt is a dark tale of insanity, prejudice, and what makes a monster in a gripping dark academia narrative that's perfect for new readers and longtime fans alike.
