Crimson wakes up and can’t remember anything. It appears she is
in a crypt in the cemetery. She starts to wandered and explores a haunted
house, meets a friend that might be a werewolf, and even meets a couple of
interesting boys. Crimson would like to know more about herself, but it appears
that she is a Frankenstein. When a friend makes a big mistake, its up to her to
help out.
This weird, quirky, and off-kilter story is just a bit too
strange for the collection at my school library. Fans of Nightmare before Christmas
may enjoy this style. There are parts that are vaguely intriguing but I had trouble buying into the world and caring about the
main character, as the full memory loss plot element is a pet peeve of mine.
