“Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.”

Who is the real monster — creature or creator? Lightning flashes, thunder rumbles, and ghost stories crackle in the air as the mother of science fiction weaves her infamous tale of horror, love, vengeance, and unholy experimentation. This visceral and captivating retelling of Mary Shelley’s gothic classic leaps to life in David Catlin’s eerie and spine-tingling adaptation, perfect for the spooky Halloween season.
