As the daughter of Dracula, you would think I’d be born the perfect monster. You couldn’t be more wrong. As far as monsters go, I’m a screw up—if I’m not tripping over my own feet, I’m accidentally murdering someone (it’s a real issue, guys). Left with no choice, Dad decides to send me to Prodigium—otherwise known as Monster Academy—to train me on how to be a better monster. When bodies turn up on campus, I’m the prime suspect (not that I can blame them).

Johann Conrad Dippel von Frankenstein machte sich wie ein Besessener an die Arbeit. Auf dem Tisch lag der Torso des Händlers. Der linke Arm fehlte vollständig, die Beine waren bis auf die Knochen abgenagt, und am Schädel ragte der Kieferknochen hervor. Von Frankenstein sägte, nähte und hämmerte fast die ganze Nacht. Er setzte den geschundenen Körper aus neuen Leichenteilen, die in Kübeln mit Alkohol schwammen, wieder zusammen. In der Luft lag der modrige Gestank der Hölle. Fast hatte er sein Werk vollendet...! Das Grauen würde bald zum unheiligen Leben erwachen!

They call me mad, but I don’t see anything wrong with using science to create the perfect monster girl. They call me insane, but I just want to live my life with a harem of beautiful cat-girls, bear-girls, fox-girls, snake-girls, and...well, pretty much any type of monster girl. They call me a megalomaniac, but why wouldn’t any red blooded man want to make cute babies with all these beautiful monster girls? They call me evil, but they just don’t realize that I’d destroy anyone who tries to harm my monster girls.

Frankenstein: Or, Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley had a huge impact on Gothic horror and science fiction genres. The name Frankenstein has become part of our everyday language, often used in derogatory terms to describe scientists who have overstepped a perceived moral line. But how did a 19-year-old woman with no formal education come up with the idea for an extraordinary novel such as Frankenstein?

I was already a target, but now that I’ve created a harem of fiercely loyal and beautiful monster girls, the matriarchy won’t rest until I’m destroyed. But I and the wonderful monster girls won’t go down without a fight, and we will topple their disgusting system.

I only got into trucking because my granddad was a trucker, and he was the best damn person I ever met. I'd always thought I was your average dude with an 18-wheeler and an addiction to energy drinks, but it turns out there might be something more brewing in my blood. Now instead of some desert highway, I'm stuck in a whole new realm, and it's full of worm cults, actual lot lizards, one seriously smoking catgirl mechanic, and enough sand and bloodthirsty creatures to make me think I took a wrong turn somewhere. But I might be able to add a whole new career path to my resume.

Everything is unfolding exactly as I have planned it: I have created an entire legion of monster girls, conquered our duchy, and freed the enslaved men. Now all that remains is to defeat the queen, create more monster girls, and liberate the entire realm. It won’t be easy, though, since the queen has sent her most powerful generals and armies to garrison the towns on our route to the royal capital, and we’ll have to fight our way through the opposition.

I am so close to triumph I can taste it, and everything is within my grasp. A bevy of scientifically engineered monster girls. The destruction of the Matriarchy. Wealth and power beyond reckoning. I just need to make The Duchess mine. For science.
