FRANKENSTEIN: MONSTERS OF THE ABYSS
You only think you know the story
of the monster and his creator.
The monster never asked for life or even his mockery of one. Victor Frankenstein never asked if he should pierce the veil of death. His cousin Elizabeth never asked for her heart to be torn asunder
Obsessed with conquering death, Victor’s compulsion crossed the border into madness. He robbed graves of what was buried within and Death of its sting. Horrified by his success, he abandoned his creation.
Hated and hounded for his appearance, the creature’s only crime was wanting a life he had not asked for. As the first of his kind, and in defiance and honor of his creator, he took the name Adam Frankenstein.
Victor and Adam find themselves locked in an epic conflict that rages from Switzerland to Ireland and back, a struggle that ensnares Elizabeth, who is caught between the man she is engaged to and the one she loves. It is a clash that can only end in death. But thanks to Victor, death is no longer the end.
In this, the true tale of House Frankenstein, you may find that the true Monsters of the Abyss are not what you have been led to believe.
STARING INTO THE ABYSS
Sometimes even the Abyss can be frightened if those staring into it already are monsters.
What if monsters were real? How would the existence of monsters play out on the international stage? How about Emila Aerhart working for the US government on a mission to an island in the Bermuda Triangle where prehistoric life abounds? Or Sherlock Holmes teaming with his goddaughter
Jane Watson and the simian head of DAT, France’s paranormal spy network, to stop a dangerous hybrid of monster and machine from destroying London? There’s Adam Frankenstein working in the German resistance to stop the Nazis from creating more of his kind from the bodies of their victims. During the Cold War, Baba Yaga and the Night Witches make a stealth attack on the King of Transylvania-Dracula. The Night Witches fight in USSR’s war in 1980’s Afghanistan. A very unusual assassin works the frigid waters of the Russian sea. The Invisible Madame tries to track down her son who was kidnapped by the British MI-7. And the legendary Phantom of the Opera, now a murderous body-stealing ghost and the top French operative, may have met his match in a teenage girl.
