The Night of the Hare King: A Dark Gothic Monster Romance

By Manon Van Daal

She loved a man of science.
He offered her to a god.

Flossie Collins is a servant in a quiet English household, hopelessly in love with the brilliant physician she works for - a rising doctor obsessed with proving that science can command the forces once called divine.

On Easter night, he invites her into his laboratory and locks the door behind her. Flossie believes she has finally been chosen.

She has been. Not for love.

For sacrifice.

The Hare King answers.

The ritual was meant to bring fame, fortune, and scientific glory.

Instead, Flossie begins to change.
