Frankenstein's Family (original) (raw)
Here is the tale of an unconventional family. Victor Frankenstein, originally named Victoria, identifies as a man despite having a female body. His assistant Igor has a deformed back. They decide to make a family together, because women just aren't interested in either of them, although both of them are heterosexual. So they wind up in a queerplatonic relationship. They use their knowledge of science to create a son, Adam.
This series also connects with The Bat Vampires, which you can find on the Serial Poetry page.
