The Of Monsters and Men series takes classic Gothic horror stories and reimagines them as historical romances. Lost in Darkness (2021) reworks the Frankenstein story, while Man of Shadow and Mist (2023) draws from Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Both books keep the atmospheric settings and moral questions of the original novels while adding romance and faith elements. The series shows Griep working in a different register from her Victorian mystery romances, though the historical English settings remain consistent with her other work.
