Summary

In the forgotten hills of West Virginia, a dark presence lurks within a long-abandoned farmhouse, hungry for fresh souls.
 
When John Dorsett moves his family into the crumbling homestead, they have no warning of the unspeakable horrors that await. Strange events begin to unfold around them - scratching in the walls, cries in the night, shadows dancing at the edge of sight.
 
As the supernatural occurrences grow more terrifying, John realizes his family is caught in the crosshairs of a deadly struggle between forces beyond his understanding. He'll stop at nothing to save his wife and children, even if it means journeying into a nightmarish world of untold dangers.
 
But can he outrun the darkness coming for them all? Will his family survive the ancient evil that calls their new home its hunting ground? John is about to find out what true darkness remains when the sun goes down in rural Appalachia...
 
Delving into the mysteries of the paranormal, What Darkness Remains is a chilling tale that will keep you turning pages late into the night. With palpable suspense and vividly drawn characters, Nicholas Barker invites you to step into the shadows and experience the terror for yourself...if you dare.

    Frankenstein Retold Inclusively

    Frankenstein was written in the Romantic literary period. The literary trend of the early 1800s produced poems that described how nature elevated and blissed human minds. Most literary work at this time was written and published by men. 
In amongst these ecstatic reveries of nature, the 19 year old, Mary Shelley wedged the chilling story of Frankenstein into the literary landscape and our minds forever. 
Her story filled an empty space in humankind's collective consciousness. That empty space was waiting for this story of over-reaching scientific madness. 
This version of Frankenstein is a translation not an abridged telling. I have translated the Old Romantic era English into easy-to-read accessible English. 
• The same characters say the same things at the same times in the story. 
• Plot point for plot point the story stays the same. 
• The themes are all preserved. 
• The transcendent and brutal settings of the story are still on the pages. 
• References to poems and other literature are explained. 
• Supplementary information supports understanding of the text. 
This book is for 
• humans who like to read archetypal literature in easy-to-read language, 
• neuro-diverse readers, 
• young readers, 
• English second language speakers, 
• English literature students who need a study guide to unravel the original Frankenstein. 
• anyone (I think that's most of us) who finds old English inaccessible but would like to read Frankenstein. 
This accessible Frankenstein is part of Inclusive Books (Inc!Bs) journey to rewrite history inclusively.
