Vienna, 1911. In this work of historical fantasy comedy, Gustav Klimt, the most famous painter in the Austrian Empire, the darling of Viennese society, spots a woman’s nude body in the Danube canal. He knows he should summon a policeman, but he can’t resist stopping to make a sketch first. And as he draws, the woman coughs. She’s alive! Back at his studio, Klimt and his model-turned-muse Wally tend to the formerly-drowned girl. She’s nearly feral and doesn’t remember who she is, or how she came to be floating in the canal. Klimt names her Judith, after one of his most famous paintings, and resolves to help her find her memory. With a little help from the fathers of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, Judith recalls being stranded in the arctic one hundred years ago, locked in a crate by a man named Victor Frankenstein, and visiting the Underworld. So how did she get here ? And why are so many people chasing her, including Geoff, the giant croissant-eating devil dog of the North? Poor Things meets Bride of Frankenstein in Anima Rising , Christopher Moore’s most ingenious (and probably most hilarious) novel yet.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780062434159","publication_date":"20250513","publisher":"HarperCollins","slug":"anima-rising","subtitle":"A Novel","title":"Anima Rising"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"FIC014100","confidence_band":"high","label":"Historical / 19th Century / General","score":1,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009080","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Humorous Fantasy","score":0.7663,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Contemporary Fantasy","score":0.7604,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"FIC014100","confidence_band":"high","label":"Historical / 19th Century / General","score":1,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009080","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Humorous Fantasy","score":0.7663,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Contemporary Fantasy","score":0.7604,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"FIC009030","confidence_band":"high","label":"Historical Fantasy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009080","confidence_band":"high","label":"Humorous Fantasy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC014100","confidence_band":"high","label":"Historical / 19th Century / General","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC019000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Literary Fiction","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC052000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Satire","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC060000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Dark Humor","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC064000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Absurdist Fiction","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC075000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Retellings & Pastiche","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Historical","score":1,"slug":"historical"},{"label":"Humorous Fantasy","score":0.7663,"slug":"humorous-fantasy"},{"label":"Contemporary Fantasy","score":0.7604,"slug":"contemporary-fantasy"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in comedy","Good for fans of Fantasy","Good for readers who enjoy Historical / 19th Century / General and Humorous Fantasy."],"related_lists":[{"intro":"","slug":"shelf-fic009010-fantasy-contemporary","title":"Fantasy Contemporary Books","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/lists/shelf-fic009010-fantasy-contemporary"}],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Christopher Moore"],"book_id":"9780060590284","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780060590284.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T10%3A13%3A18Z","score":16.1209,"title":"A Dirty Job","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780060590284"},{"authors":["Fritz Leiber"],"book_id":"9781952438004","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781952438004.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T10%3A13%3A18Z","score":11.1605,"title":"Bazaar of the Bizarre","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781952438004"},{"authors":["Matt Dinniman"],"book_id":"9780593820285","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593820285.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T10%3A13%3A18Z","score":8.7758,"title":"The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593820285"},{"authors":["Fritz Leiber"],"book_id":"9781625587442","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781625587442.jpg?v=20260402T191500Z-bisacv2site-fullset%3A2026-04-05T10%3A13%3A18Z","score":8.7435,"title":"No Great Magic","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781625587442"},{"authors":["K.
