About

What happens when humanity's darkest ambition crosses the unforgiving boundaries of life and death?

Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, the young and brilliant Victor Frankenstein isolates himself in the shadows of his Ingolstadt laboratory. There, amidst the charnel-house remains and the violent storms of the Swiss Alps, he unlocks the ultimate secret of existence: the ability to bestow animation upon dead flesh. But the moment his gargantuan creation opens its dull yellow eyes, Victor's triumph instantly morphs into paralyzing terror. Abandoned by his maker and loathed by humanity, the bewildered creature is cast out into an unforgiving world. Consumed by a tragic mix of sorrow and a mounting desire for vengeance, the monster begins to hunt down the very family Victor loves most. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, begging the question: who is the true monster-the creature, or its creator?

If you crave atmospheric chills and philosophical depth, you will be utterly captivated by this seminal masterpiece of Gothic Fiction / Science Fiction. Frankenstein masterfully weaves together the mad scientist archetype, terrifying psychological suspense, and profound ethical dilemmas. Listeners seeking dark atmospheric storytelling, romantic-era horror tropes, and the foundational roots of sci-fi will find themselves glued to every chilling word.
