From Goodreads Choice and Stoker Award®-winning author Alma Katsu comes a terrifying modern reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray for the internet age.
The Picture of Dorian Gray has never been more timely, with its focus on aesthetics and beauty, desire and influence, societal value and the siren call of beauty and Incarnate explores the intersection of these issues.
Alma Katsu has over 30 years’ experience as an intelligence professional at CIA and NSA, she has a broad understanding of how the Intelligence Community supports policymakers and the military. She has been a senior-level analyst in three intelligence disciplines and was a National Intelligence Officer. Additionally, the last third of her career was spent in research and technology, and at RAND, as a technology futurist, advising the U.S. government and private industry on emerging technologies.
Her career has allowed her to tap into the darker side of human nature, but also to see firsthand the dangerous power of technology, especially in regard to virtual influencers.
Incarnate is an illuminating, haunting tale of algorithmic worship and beauty that can kill, perfect for fans of compulsive psychological horror, female antiheroes, and the bewitching, brutal collision of beauty and horror as seen in popular horror novels Natural Beauty, Rouge, and The Glow as well as film & TV hits like The Substance, Black Mirror, M3GAN, and Grafted.
Incarnate from Alma Katsu, is released on 6 October 2026 from Titan Books.
