The Beautiful Ugly Beasts

In the year 1859, a young, ambitious alchemist locked himself away in his London manor to conduct a series of strange experiments. His goal: to create the world’s first, living homunculus. On a dark winter night, a creature was birthed. Twenty-six years later, a young woman named Lilith Dantes is sent to live with her uncle in London. Lilith brings with her a haunted past and a growing sickness in her brain. As Lilith settles into her new life, she learns the tale of a mysterious beast who stalks the area, leaving brutal deaths in its wake. One day while out walking, she comes across a young man who can change his face. He introduces himself as Joshua. He is violent and forgetful. He says he wants to tear her apart. Three years prior to being sent to live with her uncle, Lilith suffered a horrible tragedy. She was kidnapped and held against her will by an unknown assailant. She, along with several other girls, were tortured and made to suffer unspeakable humiliations. Somehow, Lilith managed to escape. Neither her captor nor the other girls were ever found. The stress of the incident caused her to become ill. As her body grew weaker, a desire for revenge was ignited. Faced with impossible obstacles, murder, gore, and devious family secrets, can she rise to meet the oncoming storm?
