The worst monsters are the human kind . . .

Dundee, 1812. Isabel Baxter awaits the arrival of Mary Godwin, a girl of fierce intelligence and grand passions, sent north to recover from a mysterious ailment. The Baxter family home, nestled in woodland by the river Tay, seems the perfect retreat. But The Cottage is a place of secrets, and Mary is no ordinary guest.

As the girls grow closer, their friendship becomes all-consuming, haunted by memory, fuelled by feverish
creativity, and shadowed by something monstrous.

Inspired by true events, this is an immersive reimagining of the young Mary Shelley before she became the
author of Frankenstein. A story of girlhood, obsession, and the birth of a literary legend.

Years before Frankenstein, this is a story of emerging womanhood and literary intrigue, exploring the many monsters in young Mary Shelley's life. From the bestselling author of Waterstones Scottish Book of the month, the Specimens, Poor Creatures is perfect for fans of Stacey Halls, Sara Sheridan and Ambrose Parry.
