Alma Katsu's Incarnate turns a digital double into a gothic threat

Incarnate, Alma Katsu's Dorian Gray reimagining, is listed for September 22 in hardcover, ebook and audio.

Alma Katsu's Incarnate is a modern reimagining of The Picture of Dorian Gray , built around deepfake technology and the desire to be seen online. G. P. Putnam's Sons lists the 336-page hardcover for September 22, alongside ebook and audiobook editions. Dorothy Wagner takes a job at a coder's deepfake company after her

attempt at social-media fame stalls. She secretly creates Isabella, a digital personality who attracts a huge audience, then faces the consequences when another person approaches the truth. Katsu's publisher frames this as techno-horror rather than a nonfiction account of actual software or people. The listed audiobook

runs nine hours and seventeen minutes. Readers deciding between formats can find the edition details on the publisher page. Official details Headline image: G. P. Putnam's Sons / Penguin Random House. Promotional material from the linked rights-holder source.
