Twelve women, twelve horrors. In Paris, a college student awakens a gargoyle; insects infest a lonely woman’s home; in post World War II Germany, an American jazz singer confronts her lover about his horrifying war crimes; a young girl wishes her dog immortality; via found footage a young couple gets first hand experience with H.P. Lovecraft’s Resonator machine; in 1923 London, Elsa Lanchester exposes the truth behind Bride of Frankenstein, which involves the preserved brain of Karl Marx’s daughter.

These tales, and more, in Sleeping With the Monster.
