What about an 1808 New England Gothic recasting of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein? Gott'im's Monster is roaming the western mountains of Maine.
While setting snares in the woods, young Abner Bartlett, sees his former one-room school master sitting dazed against a giant tree, apparently starving, ill. Abner cares for the master and learns that he is running from his own monster clandestinely created in rooms above a funeral parlor in Cambridge Massachusetts.
Desperate, the school master tasks Abner to find the monster and destroy it. "Don't let the monster get near Gottheim or it will ravage your village."

What is FIVE POINTS AKROPOLIS?
An alternate future? An insecure past? Another present made of dense woodlands and waterways ... or of streets and buildings and crowds? Are its populations living beside one another in a welter of frequencies or wavelengths not generally experienced in Place and Time?
A particular place called Five Points Akropolis -- This is what Anno Domine 1769, 1900 A.D., and 2017 CE have in common. But what influence does the dwarf-wanderer Pluto have on its fortunes?
One of many characters, Willie the grave-digger would like to know, and too Gregoff the Grak. So would True People's scouts Red Fox and Quick Claws. Jayrai, HBBBAH, and Tu are wondering--they want to be back in 2017, their own time. And little Quadri, whose working thumbs are the pulse of the gamescape. But "the girl," who seems somehow responsible for all this, isn't saying. Three gangs of kids living on the same spot in different times, meeting up for the first time as Pluto descends.
