The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter

A Victorian romp with all your favorite horror stories.  Daughters of Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein, one of Dr. Moreau’s experiments, Sherlock Homes, Dracula’s servant, and more make this a fun ride, while somewhat nostalgic.
I’ll admit every time the characters interrupted the story to provide commentary, I laughed.  Having written and read these types of books, I can identify with Catherine, the writer, and her audience reading over her shoulder.  It is a unique stylistic choice and I had so much fun with this aspect as well as the runaway nature of the story, I look forward to the next book.
