Amlethstein

by Ulric Black

In the frozen kingdom of Elsinore, a young prince awakens from death—scarred, altered, and unsure whether he still possesses a soul. His mother calls it a miracle. His uncle calls it mercy. But in the mirror, he sees only the work of darker hands.

As whispers of witchcraft spread through the court, the resurrected heir struggles to recall the night of his fall, haunted by visions of his father's ghost and the lover he lost. Shadows move in the corridors, and beneath the stone halls something ancient stirs—a reckoning long buried with the dead. In Amlethstein, monsters emerge from within.

Blending the tragic soul of Hamlet with the brutal gothic horror of Frankenstein, Ulric Black's Amlethstein weaves together and breathes new and horrific life into two immortal stories, to birth a new creation entirely of its own. Brooding, bloody, poetic, and viscerally human, it is a haunting tale of resurrection and ruin—of what it means to be made, and unmade, by love and loss.

For lovers of Mary Shelley, Shakespeare and elevated horror, this is gothic literature reborn: atmospheric, intimate, and alive with dreadful beauty.
