Frankenstein. Part Six.
Haunted by guilt, Victor retreats into the Alps, where a fateful encounter awaits.
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. Seeking solace among the glaciers and towering peaks of the Alps, Victor sets out alone, where an unexpected encounter awaits him.
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.
