What if the price of true beauty was the surrender of your very soul?Guido, a proud, impoverished young man, stands on the brink of ruin. His only recourse is to accept a desperate bargain: a mysterious dwarf offers him untold riches and release from his misery, but only in exchange for a horrifying, seven-month trial.The contract is simple: Guido must swap bodies with the hideous creature.He awakens to find himself trapped in a grotesquely deformed shell, while the dwarf walks away in Guido’s handsome, newly rejuvenated form, intent on stealing his fiance and his future. Trapped in a nightmare of his own making, Guido begins a frantic, desperate journey to reclaim his life and his identity before the contract expires and the transformation becomes eternal.From the legendary author of Frankenstein, The Transformation is a chilling and brilliantly dark exploration of the profound misery of vanity and egotism and the terrifying power of a soul divorced from its body.You may change your face, but you can never escape the monster within.
