Dr. Frankenstein's Laboratory Notebook: A Gothic Science Workbook

 What if Victor Frankenstein wrote a chemistry textbook?

Dr. Frankenstein's Laboratory Notebook is exactly that — a complete Gothic science workbook in nine chapters, taught in the voice of literature's most obsessive scientist.

The chemistry is real. The biology is real. The physics is real. Every formula works. Every problem has a complete answer key. Every chapter prepares the student for genuine college coursework.

But the lessons are taught by candlelight. The examples come from Victor's own laboratory experiments. The crossword puzzles feature ravens and skulls. The cumulative final exam asks the student to describe — in molecular detail — the first sixty seconds of the creature's life.

This is the book Victor Frankenstein would have written. It is also one of the most distinctive science workbooks ever published.

Topics covered: Atomic structure, periodic table, thermodynamics, electricity and galvanism, action potentials, cell biology, organic chemistry, DNA, the genetic code, and a complete cumulative final examination integrating every chapter.

Designed for: Students preparing for chemistry coursework, homeschool families, dark academia readers, and anyone who has ever wondered what an actual Victorian science notebook would teach.

Concludes with a signed Certificate of Completion bearing the signatures of Dr. Frankenstein and University Rector L. Konnrad Dippel.

The first volume in the Gothic Science Workbooks series from Quill Echo Press. Future volumes from Ingolstadt University Press will feature Dr. Lanyon on neuroscience, Dr. Jekyll on psychology, Dr. Wells on time and electricity, and Professor Van Helsing on the biology of blood.

"For readers of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein who want to understand the actual chemistry of Victor's obsession — and for anyone preparing for the science coursework Victor's creature could not survive without."

"Welcome, scholar. The laboratory is open."
