This brisk and brutal Frankenstein retelling, from the guy who ruined the end of the world in the Exponential Apocalypse series, is chock full of blood, guts, and the crippling existential terror that exists at the intersection of disability, capitalism, and societal ableism.

Text reads: INFERNAL ORGANS. Image of large intestine holding a crowbar in foreground; entire image is obscured slightly by blowing snow. At bottom right, more text, reading: A Novella, by Eirik Gumeny.

On Ingolstadt Island, the INFERNAL ORGANS harvest you!

There are, as Eliza Duran knows firsthand, any number of issues that can follow a lung transplant: surgical complications, infections, rejection. But having to confront all of her buried trauma and internalized isolation while attempting to escape a mad scientist’s mansion overrun by a horror horde of rampaging organs hellbent on humanity’s destruction? That’s a new one, even for her.

This brisk and brutal Frankenstein retelling, from the guy who ruined the end of the world in the Exponential Apocalypse series, is chock full of blood, guts, and the crippling existential terror that exists at the intersection of disability, capitalism, and societal ableism.

Infernal Organs is the only novella about vicious, revivified viscera you’ll ever need—and the only one written by someone who’s actually had an organ transplant. And we mean, like, ever, in all of recorded history. So that’s something it’s got going for it, too.
