**Victor Frankenstein** [2:48 AM]
🔊 *Voice message (0:47)*
[heavy breathing, something crashing in background]
"Henry I did something really really bad and I don't know what to do it's alive IT'S ALIVE and it looked at me with these yellow eyes and I think I'm going to pass out"

**Henry Clerval** [2:51 AM]
Victor what

**Henry Clerval** [2:51 AM]
It's 3am dude

**Henry Clerval** [2:52 AM]
What's alive?? Did you adopt a cat without telling Elizabeth again?

**Victor Frankenstein** [2:52 AM]
NOT A CAT HENRY

**Victor Frankenstein** [2:52 AM]
Remember when I said I was doing "research"?

**Henry Clerval** [2:53 AM]
Yeah you've been weird about it for like 2 years

**Henry Clerval** [2:53 AM]
You stopped answering calls

**Henry Clerval** [2:53 AM]
You look like a corpse every time I see you

**Henry Clerval** [2:54 AM]
Which isn't often because you GHOST EVERYONE

**Victor Frankenstein** [2:54 AM]
Speaking of corpses

**Victor Frankenstein** [2:54 AM]
😬

**Henry Clerval** [2:55 AM]
Victor.

**Henry Clerval** [2:55 AM]
Victor Frankenstein.

**Henry Clerval** [2:55 AM]
What did you do.

**Victor Frankenstein** [2:56 AM]
Ok so you know how I was really into galvanism and reanimation theory

**Henry Clerval** [2:56 AM]
Unfortunately yes

**Victor Frankenstein** [2:57 AM]
And you know how I said the professors at Ingolstadt were limiting my potential

**Henry Clerval** [2:57 AM]
You said M. Krempe was a "small minded fool who couldn't recognize genius"

**Victor Frankenstein** [2:57 AM]
Yes well

**Victor Frankenstein** [2:58 AM]
I proved him wrong

**Victor Frankenstein** [2:58 AM]
I created life Henry

**Victor Frankenstein** [2:58 AM]
From dead tissue

**Victor Frankenstein** [2:58 AM]
It's 8 feet tall and it just walked out of my apartment

**Henry Clerval** [2:59 AM]
I'm sorry WHAT

**Henry Clerval** [2:59 AM]
🔊 *Voice message (0:23)*
"Victor I need you to explain RIGHT NOW what you mean by created life from dead tissue because I'm having several heart attacks simultaneously"

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:01 AM]
I collected parts from various... sources

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:01 AM]
Charnel houses, dissecting rooms, slaughterhouses

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:01 AM]
Assembled them

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:02 AM]
Used electrical apparatus during the storm tonight

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:02 AM]
And it WORKED

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:02 AM]
I did it

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:02 AM]
I am basically God now

**Henry Clerval** [3:03 AM]
You are basically INSANE now

**Henry Clerval** [3:03 AM]
Where is this... thing?

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:04 AM]
I DON'T KNOW

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:04 AM]
It looked at me

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:04 AM]
With its watery eyes

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:04 AM]
And yellow skin barely covering its muscles

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:05 AM]
And I realized

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:05 AM]
I may have made a huge mistake

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:05 AM]
So I ran to my bedroom and hid under the covers

**Henry Clerval** [3:06 AM]
You HID UNDER THE COVERS

**Henry Clerval** [3:06 AM]
Victor you created an 8 foot tall corpse monster and your response was to HIDE UNDER YOUR BLANKIE

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:07 AM]
DON'T JUDGE ME HENRY

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:07 AM]
You WEREN'T THERE

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:07 AM]
It was HORRIFYING

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:08 AM]
I thought it would be beautiful

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:08 AM]
I selected the features to be beautiful

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:08 AM]
But when it came together...

**Victor Frankenstein** [3:08 AM]
💀💀💀

**Henry Clerval** [3:09 AM]
Ok I'm coming over

**Henry Clerval** [3:09 AM]
Do NOT leave your apartment

**Henry Clerval** [3:09 AM]
Actually no wait the monster is loose

**Henry Clerval** [3:10 AM]
Maybe DO leave your apartment

**Henry Clerval** [3:10 AM]
Actually I don't know what to tell you

**Henry Clerval** [3:10 AM]
This is above my pay grade Victor

Kill Your Darlings: Why Your Most Brilliant Scenes Are Secretly Destroying Your Book

That scene you've polished until it gleams like a diamond? The one you read aloud to friends at dinner parties? The passage that made you think, 'Finally, I've written something truly magnificent'? It needs to die. I know this hurts. But here's the uncomfortable truth that every professional writer eventually learns: the scenes we love most are often the ones sabotaging our work.

How to Build Your Personal Author Brand: A Strategic Guide to Standing Out in a Crowded Market

In today's publishing landscape, writing a great book is only half the battle. Whether you're self-publishing your debut novel or have several titles under your belt, your personal author brand is what transforms casual readers into devoted fans. It's the invisible thread that connects your work, your personality, and your audience into something memorable and marketable. But what exactly is an author brand? Simply put, it's the unique combination of your writing style, values, visual identity, and the promise you make to readers about what they can expect from you. Think of authors like Stephen King or Nora Roberts—before you even open one of their books, you have certain expectations. That's the power of branding.

Writers Who Were Complete Assholes: Literary Geniuses You'd Want to Punch

We worship their books. We quote their wisdom. We name our children after their characters. But here's the dirty little secret English professors won't tell you: many of literature's greatest minds were absolutely insufferable human beings. The kind of people you'd cross the street to avoid. So pour yourself something strong, because we're about to drag some literary legends through the mud they so richly deserve.

The Portrait Restored: A Lost Chapter of Dorian Gray

When they entered, they found hanging upon the wall a splendid portrait of their master as they had last seen him, in all the wonder of his exquisite youth and beauty. Lying on the floor was a dead man, in evening dress, with a knife in his heart. It was not until they had examined the rings that they recognised who it was. Yet in the days that followed, strange whispers began to circulate through London's drawing rooms—whispers that the servants of the Gray household dared not repeat, save in the most confidential of circumstances.

The Night Shift Knows Your Face

I took the security job at the abandoned mall because it paid well and required nothing but sitting in a booth watching monitors. The previous guard quit without notice, they said. Left his keys on the desk and never came back for his last paycheck. I should have asked more questions. The first week was uneventful. Empty corridors, flickering fluorescent lights, the occasional rat scurrying past camera three. But on the eighth night, I noticed something on monitor seven—the one showing the old food court. A figure standing perfectly still between the plastic chairs.

The Photograph That Breathed

Marcus found the old photograph at the bottom of a box he'd inherited from his grandmother. A sepia portrait of a woman he didn't recognize, standing in what appeared to be this very house—his house now. Her eyes seemed to follow him as he carried it to the living room, but that was just a trick of the light. Everyone said that about old photographs. It wasn't until he hung it on the wall that he noticed her chest was moving.
