Orlando Balfour, a lonely amateur archaeologist, falls under a mysterious affliction that begins to transform him.
Searching the occult for a cure, he turns to an ancient alchemical text, only to lose another piece of his humanity with each attempt.
Ancient curses pull him deeper into a hidden world where that transformation is merely the opening change.
Inspired by The Invisible Man, this queer Gothic gaslamp fantasy novella sets body horror against existential dread and the question of what it means to be human.
