“He was soon borne away by the waves, and lost in darkness and distance.”

There are those who would swear that Victor Frankenstein is dead. Those who would swear that his Creature died also.

They are wrong.

1842. Under the Thames, workmen uncover something in the clay. In Norfolk, a stranger arrives at the home of philosopher Nathanial Greene and begins conducting odd experiments.

1850. Nathanial  is accused of murder. Philanthropist Jesse Malone and investigator Hubert Crowe are determined to understand what happened, but the story is almost too unbelievable…

To uncover the truth behind Greene’s bizarre claims, the two investigators must delve into a terrifying world where the men play God once more, and the ghosts of the past appear to be alive and vengeful.

In this visionary sequel to Mary Shelley’s peerless classic, old experiments resume, new mysteries arise, and the true question of mankind’s morality is tested once more.
