Summary

ORKNEY ISLANDS, 1797 – Agnes Tulloch feels a little cheated. This windswept place is not the island paradise her husband promised it to be when they wed. Now with four young children, she struggles to provide for her family while her husband grows increasingly distant.
 
When a stranger comes ashore to rent an abandoned cottage, Agnes and the other islanders are abuzz with curiosity. Who is this wealthy foreigner and why on earth would he come to Eynhallow? Her curiosity is soon replaced with vexation when her husband hires her out as cook and washerwoman, leaving Agnes with no say in the matter. Agnes begrudgingly befriends this aristocrat-in-exile; a mercurial scientist who toils night and day on some secret pursuit. Despite herself, she's drawn to his dark, brooding charm. And who is this Byronic stranger sweeping Agnes off her feet? His name is Frankenstein and he's come to this remote isle to fulfill a monstrous obligation.

Wendigo Protocol

Ollie Kay

The future is already here—it’s just not human. 
Deep within the Canadian Rockies, buried beneath a mile of granite and fifty years of silence, lies Helix Station. History has forgotten Helix Station, once a Cold War black site, but not everyone has forgotten it. 
Dr. Elena Cathcart, a brilliant geneticist for Nexus Pharmaceuticals, believes she is leading a routine expedition to investigate a geological anomaly. She is mistaken. They have sent her, along with battle-hardened operative Jake Hansen and tech prodigy Marcus Singh, to awaken a hidden force. 
Inside the concrete tomb, they discover "Project Wendigo": a horrifying fusion of alien biology and human DNA that has been starving for decades. It doesn't just hunt flesh; it corrupts reality, rewriting the genetic and digital code of everything it touches. 
Trapped in a lockdown designed to become a tomb, the team uncovers a terrifying truth: they aren't the rescue party. They are the control group. As the station's systems turn against them and the shadows begin to move, Elena and Jake must fight a war on two fronts—against a creature that can rewrite their very souls and against the corporation that signed their death warrants. 
Wendigo Protocol is a white-knuckle sci-fi horror thriller that explores the terrifying intersection of corporate greed, biological ascension, and the ghosts in the machine.
