Beloved Monster: A Reimagining of Mary Shelley's Gothic Classic
He dreamed of conquering death. I dreamed only of loving him.
Beloved Monster is a dark, lyrical retelling of Mary Shelley's classic, told through the haunted voice of Henry Clerval - Victor's dearest friend, confidant, and perhaps something more.
When Victor Frankenstein defies the laws of nature to steal fire from the heavens, he unleashes a tragedy no man could foresee. In candlelit laboratories and storm-swept landscapes, Victor and Henry walk a path from wonder to ruin, from tenderness to terror. Between them stands the Creature - abandoned, eloquent, vengeful - and the terrible beauty born of their sins.
At once intimate and operatic, Beloved Monster explores love and monstrosity, creation and consequence, and the bond that death itself cannot sever.
Between us, we made a monster - and it was beautiful.
