Today I’m going to share a bit about what Necro has been up to the past 200 years since she first met a young Mary Shelley, famed teenage author of Frankenstein.

Origins is the story of how a young Mary Shelley meets the fun loving and powerful, book of the dead, Necro, whose journal you’ve been reading the last month.

A young Mary Shelley encounters an occult scientist, Dr. M, and a living book of spells, Necro (The Necronomicon), who accidentally split her into two versions of herself— 

One, the literary giant who goes on to write Frankenstein. 

The other, a supernatural girl, Shel, who spends her immortality fighting evil humans who exploit monsters like herself. 

After befriending Necro (a cute powerful version of the Necronomicon) and rescuing Frank, one of Dr. M’s experiments, Shel starts a school for misunderstood monsters near Lake Geneva.

Necro is in her super happy place with Shel and this crew. She may stay there the rest of her days.
