As the pursuit of justice gives way to tragedy, Victor is forced to watch the consequences of his actions unfold in silence. Tormented by guilt and convinced he bears responsibility for a growing chain of suffering, he withdraws from those who love him and sinks deeper into despair.
Brilliant young scientist Victor Frankenstein defies the natural order, piecing together a living creature from stolen body parts. But horror instantly replaces triumph when he looks upon his grotesque creation. A relentless game of cat-and-mouse ensues between the desperate Frankenstein and the monster he abandoned.
The Haunted Library is open. Come in. Stay awhile.
