Beyond Prometheus

by Kevin R. O'Hara, Eric Del Carlo, A.M. Justice

The year 2018 marks the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus.” Well known as a pioneer of gothic horror, the work is also famously touted as an early work of science fiction. Thematically it tackles timeless issues – the schism between science, religion, and the hubris of man. Inspired by this classic, we asked our writers to take a page from Shelley and create their own monster addressing themes that were relevant to today’s world. The result? Stunning. They delivered a cross section of everything from profound, to pulp, to cult.

You hold in your hand a book full of monsters. Each of these stories will bring you face to face with inhuman creatures – a word of caution, though – these creatures look back.
