A gothic horror story that imagines what happens to Frnkenstein's monster after the death of his creator, Victor. What becomes of a monster without its maker?
At the end of Mary Shelley’s classic novel, the creator dies but his creation still lives, cursed to a life of isolation and hatred.
Frankenstein’s Monster continues the creature’s story as he’s compelled to discover his humanity, to escape the ship captain who vowed to the dying Frankenstein to hunt him down—and to resist the woman who would destroy them all.
This is a tale of passion, revenge, violence, and madness—and the desperate search for meaning in an often meaningless world.
"Frankenstein's Monster" continues the story of Mary Shelley's classic creature after he loses himself in the bitter landscape of the North Pole. This is a tale of violent emotion, obsession, and redemption.

Frankenstein's Monster patches together the remains of Mary Shelley's novel and sends the creature roaring back into the world. Susan Heyboer O'Keefe has created original monsters of her own that will frighten and fascinate and keep you up late at night.”—Keith Donohue, author of
