Seventeen-year-old twins tell their story in alternating diary entries as they journey to claim an inherited castle and learn about their father, Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Giselle longs for social grace; Ingrid strives for education. But both are haunted by strange dangers and a series of murders. This curious takeoff on Shelley's classic is ornamented with absorbing gothic elements and a brooding romance.
