Gothic-literature context
Two classic monsters meet in an original crossover
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was published in 1818, while Bram Stoker’s Dracula followed in 1897. The novels created very different monsters: one born from scientific ambition and abandonment, the other from Gothic vampire tradition. Their meeting in Philadelphia never appears in either book. This quest is an original crossover that places public-domain literary characters in a new city story. Playable languages: English.
