In his basement lab, he performs grisly and horrific experiments in his quest to master the alchemy of reversing death. When things inevitably go awry with Victor's ill-advised attempts to \"save\" Elias, a beautiful boy dying of diabetes, Victor begins to recognize the monstrosity and irreversibility of his actions and sets off in search of alchemists across Europe who may hold some key to undoing the damage, with Elias in pursuit. A series of hard lessons learned from each end of the equation draws Victor and Elias closer together in unexpected and perhaps unseverable ways, as they reckon with the consequences of being men and monsters. The familiar frame story, Gothic darkness, and deeply thoughtful and left-unanswered questions about the line between human and inhumane, between justice and injustice, do great homage to the source material, while the authentic teenage yearning and deep sensory experiences feel like pure Ancrum. As one alchemist tells Elias, \"All wisdom untimely requires payment in despair,\" and there is wisdom and despair to spare, here, but also tenderness, compassion, and understanding of the sometimes-hideous process of growth through mistakes.

Ancrum, author of 'The Wicker King' grew up in Chicago Illinois. She attended Dominican University to study Fashion Merchandizing, but was lured into getting an English degree after spending too many nights experimenting with hard literary criticism and hanging out with unsavory types, like poetry students. Currently, she lives in Andersonville and writes books at work when no one is looking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarperCollins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeptember 8, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e384 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e978-0063449022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 pounds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReading Age\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e13 years and up\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e:‎\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5.7 x 1.1 x 8.2 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44775705837656,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/4146\/8760\/files\/9780063449022.jpg?v=1789151989"},{"product_id":"deep-unlearning-the-rise-of-ai-and-the-radicalization-of-a-tech-idealist-by-timnit-gebru","title":"Deep Unlearning: The Rise of AI and the Radicalization of a Tech Idealist by Timnit Gebru (Pre-Order)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTimnit Gebru, one of the fiercest voices in the world speaking truth to power, chronicles her journey as a refugee and Black woman in STEM—delivering an inspiring vision for better, human-centered, equitable technology.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimnit Gebru has been present at nearly every inflection point in tech’s recent history.
