Doctor Strange

A brilliant, arrogant surgeon's hands are shattered in a car accident, and he turns to the mystic arts after conventional medicine fails him — this is a classic redemption arc through a radical change in worldview, so "coming-of-age" and "redemption-arc" fit well. The book is a collection of short stories rather than a single narrative, so "short-stories" and "anthology" are the correct form factors; it's a 1970s anthology series, not a novel. Moods lean dark and mysterious because the source material (Doctor Strange, 1972-1979) is steeped in occultism, ancient magic, and cosmic horror, with a tense, atmospheric tone throughout. Tropes: the transformation from surgeon to sorcerer is a literal "transformation" and "mentor-figure" (the Ancient One) arc; his journey to find a new purpose after his career is destroyed is a "fish-out-of-water" scenario; the book's structure as a collection of self-contained tales makes "multiple-povs" and "morally-grey" applicable to the morally ambiguous choices sorcerers must make. No romance or violence tags are warranted since the original anthology is a collection of short stories with no explicit romance or graphic violence.
