Nineteen-year-old Jake Margate has had terminal leukemia for
five years and is ready to let go but his mother has other ideas. She’s
found a rogue doctor pursuing radical treatments and takes her son to a
remote institute where he does seem to get better…at first. But then the
treatment begins to fail in strange ways just as Jake begins to fall
for another of the test subjects. Slowly, he realizes he’s been turned
into something truly horrible. Two-timeLambda Literary Award-winning
author Thornton has written a contemporary queer twist on the
Frankenstein monster story.
