"When I was a child, my grandmother told me stories about dolls. Little did I know that these tall tales were more than just words that passed an old woman's mouth."

Meet Miles, your average 18-year old teen who just entered a world unbeknownst to most, the world of Dollmaking - the act of giving life to lifeless vessels. He lived a perfectly fine, normal life. And then it became everything but normal. Just after graduating from college, a family tragedy ensues which sets him deeper in his grandmother's past.  As Miles walked through his grandmother's decaying memories, it becomes clear that his grandmother was more than what he thought she was. Her past might have been dangerous. There might be a reason why her grandmother stopped telling him the stories. And somehow - no matter how impossible it may sound - her stories might be true.

59 parts Complete

This story will become free again on 3 March 2025. It will be removed from Wattpad at some point in the not too distant future. Jessica "Ike" Wordsworth can dive into books, but she isn't prepared for a monster - and a ruthless murderer killing her tourists. Ike is fighting the aftermath of a nasty divorce that left her husband in custody of her homesitting business - and her beloved cats. With nothing but a turquoise construction trailer to call her home, Ike invests her last quid and becomes partner in a tour company specialising in bespoke trips for book-lovers. When the guide hired to take on the first tour drops out at the last minute, Ike has to take over and steer her guests towards the cradle of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". All to soon she realises there truly are monsters on the loose, one of them a ruthless killer who's targetting her tourists. To unearth the truth, Ike will have to cooperate with her moronic partner, Gary Sands, 13th Baron of Nettlehole and founder of LiteraTours. When they don't succeed in stopping the killer, she realises she'll have to take the plunge and draw on some rather unusual skills her family has been hiding from the world . . . "Frankenstein's Guide" is the first instalment in the "LiteraTours Cozy Mystery series". [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]] Cover designed by Ren T
