Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay
To mould me man?

Did I solicit thee
From darkness to promote me?

Victoria Frankenstein's journey into passion and terror,
the creation she rejects and the world it destroys.

A tale of passionate obsession that follows the flame of technology from the hands of Prometheus to the laboratory of Victoria Frankenstein. As Scientist/God, she brings life to lifeless matter in an experiment of biotech reanimation. Repulsed, Victoria rejects her creation and forces it into a life of seclusion and isolation, setting in motion a wave of terror that threatens the lives of her family, her friends, and the woman she loves.
