Opis

What if...this morning, when you opened your newspaper, went online, turned on the TV, the headline startled your memories back to childhood fears: MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN CREATURE FOUND... ALIVE What if Mary Shelley's, FRANKENSTEIN, was really a true story? BACK FROM THE DEAD: the true sequel to Frankenstein is an assemblage of psychological drama, horror, romance, and science-fiction. The story follows the account by Sergio Carerra, the scientist who revives the thought-to-be mythical creature from a two-hundred year arctic freeze and, with help from his psychologist wife, Sophia, brings him into the family of man. The fantastical story the creature tells is at odds with his gothic sojourns to the 1790's through dreams and reveries; they reveal a unique perspective on Shelley' original story, why he survived, and what happened to his mate. Present-day society takes to this formidable beast, so different than his movie counterpart, in a wholly modern way. And his feelings and reactions to his unwanted resurrection give him hope where none existed before. But now that he's back, there are others interested in him for reasons not so apparent, and they will do anything to get what they want. Finally, after 200 years, we are about to learn the truth.
