What is Confederate Monster About?
This series is my take on the original Frankenstein story, but following the classic literary characters 8 years after the events of the original Mary Shelley story.
In the final months of the American Civil War, a secret confederate plot is unfolding. Desperate to turn the tide toward their favor, the confederates have pursued a ghastly ghost story as a last resort. A horrific tale about a mad scientist who is believed to have brought a hideous dead monster back to life! Strangely enough, this foreign fairy tale has proved to be much more fact than fiction.
As the rebels put their final plans into action, a reconstructive surgeon named Dr. Daniel Schmidt rebuilds their broken soldiers. All the while living with bone chilling secrets of his own. For all his charm and brilliance, Daniel hides a monstrous past. Many years ago in a different life, He was none other than the lab assistant to the very same mad scientist the Confederates now seek, Dr. Victor Frankenstein!
This story has everything that made you fall in love with the original Frankenstein tale. PLUS, some new twists, and shocking revelations about these beloved characters.

Who are the Characters?
ALL your favorite Frankenstein characters make an appearance in the story. Some may look a little different than you remember, but it’s all in service to my vision. Check out a quick look at who you can expect to see…
Dr. Daniel Schmidt (Igor)
Our main character goes by the name Dr. Daniel Schmidt, but it is merely a disguise. He is in fact Igor, the assistant to the infamous Dr. Frankenstein. After he helped the mad doctor raise a body from the dead, he used a secret identity and some hidden resources of Victor’s, to travel to America. He creates a new life for himself as a Reconstructive Surgeon living in Virginia. My version of Igor is much smarter, more charming and a lot more cunning than the original. A true protege to Victor Frankenstein. Instead of a deformed hunchback.
Victor Frankenstein
After his un-dead monster got loose and ravaged the towns people, Victor was thrown into an Asylum, where he has spent the past 8 years. It has left his mind broken, and his body ravaged by insanity. He is a shell of his former self when we first meet him. However, he has been planning for this moment since the very beginning.
The Monster
Probably the most recognizable as the classic version of the character. Yet, at the same time his story is very different than anything that has come before. PLUS my version is more of a cowboy-outlaw than a mindless beast. However, his new found intelligence does not inhibit his ability to kick some major butt!
The Bride
My version of the Bride is reminiscent of the original. However, I take elements of the Monster’s Bride, and Victor’s Bride, and mix them together. Creating an ALL-NEW character that isn’t just meant to be a companion.
