Frankenstina
A retelling of Frankenstein focusing on a female creature's descent into monstrosity.
Hinrichs reimagines the classic monster story by placing a woman at its center. She is born from tragedy and immediately rejected by her creator and society. The plot follows her isolation as she endures hatred from family, classmates, and teachers. Her intelligence becomes a source of conflict rather than pride. As she grows, the lack of mercy from her father pushes her toward violence. The narrative does not offer redemption. Instead, it shows how societal cruelty creates the very monster people fear. The story is a study in cause and effect within the horror genre.
This book sits within the tradition of American independent publishing. It engages with gothic fiction tropes established in the nineteenth century. Hinrichs updates these themes for a contemporary audience by altering the protagonist's gender. The work reflects modern interests in psychological horror and character-driven narratives.
