Our Hideous Progeny

historical fantasy set in 1850s London/Inverness

A young woman and her husband want to become renowned paleontologists, but are dismissed by the scientific community and struggling with money

When they find her great uncle Frankenstein’s notes, they construct a plan to recreate a dinosaur to prove their theories and become acknowledged by their peers

But her attachment to the creature and their dissolving relationship over his gambling habits change their plans.
