Summary:

"Vienna, 1911. 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, thewoman 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 Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, Judith recalls being stranded in the Arctic one hundred years ago, locked in a crate by a man namedVictor Frankenstein, and visiting the Underworld"-- Provided by publisher.

Anima Rising is a darkly comic, genre-blending tale set in 1911 Vienna. When famed painter Gustav Klimt discovers a nude woman barely alive in the Danube canal, he brings her to his studio with the help of his muse, Wally. The mysterious woman, dubbed Judith, has no memory--until sessions with Freud and Jung unlock her bizarre past: she was trapped in the Arctic a century earlier by Victor Frankenstein and has even visited the Underworld. As Judith's past catches up with her, including a devilish croissant-loving hellhound named Geoff, Klimt and his circle are swept into a surreal adventure.
