Frankenstein
on Trial:
The Man Who
Defied God
A forbidden experiment. A created being. A trail of deaths. Dr. Victor Frankenstein stands trial. His creation — assembled from human remains and brought to life through forbidden science — has already been convicted of murder. Now the court must decide whether Frankenstein himself should be held accountable for the deaths that followed his experiment. When a creator unleashes something into the world, where does his responsibility end?
