Agents!!! I was soooo lucky to mentor Taylor and read this beautiful, genre-bendy book!!!
To save her sister, Destiny joins a luck-bending alien in a dangerous Vegas con. His borrowed human body is breaking, her heart is unraveling, and every win brings them closer to ruin. Now it’s love or family. Either choice could destroy them both.

*FRANKENSTEIN SPOILERS *
As someone who teaches frankenstein every year, I had SO many thoughts about this film. I am a fan of GTD’s movies. Loved the nested doll structure and how freaky Elizabeth was. Loved the costumes, acting, and music
Was very ? about the time period shift by 50 years+

Scholars of eighteenth-century topics: consider submitting your work to *Digital Defoe*. We publish essays on Defoe, but also on his "contemporaries," which we're inclined to interpret broadly. More info here:
