Unveiling the Frankenstein Legacy: A Tale of Redemption, Retribution, and the Reshaping of History
In E. Frankenstein - The Postmodern Prometheus, the source material's epistolary technique continues, developing a blend of historical fiction, sci-fi, and horror genres. As Victor Frankenstein chases his monstrous creation to polar extremes, his younger brother, Ernest, emerges from obscurity, embarking on a quest that will inevitably change the course of global destiny.
The titular lead and his trusted ally, Amaechi Ergwurugwu, venture into the uncharted territories of the undead. Their enterprise? To use a reanimated army as a force against the colonial powers wreaking havoc in Africa and the Americas. Co-cast with stargazer Eupraxia Barbu, merchant banker Lord Mayer Amschel Rothschild, inventors Nicholas-Joseph Cugnot and the Montgolfier Bros, a sitting U.S. president and his First Lady Abigail Adams, among other familiar contemporaries.
Set against the backdrop of a world on the brink of industrial revolution, Ernest's journey contrasts his brother's, filled with vanity, clarity of purpose, and a pursuit to make multitudes of marks on the world. EF captivates with its mix of chipper humor, engaging friendships, and the deep ambitions of two men driven to redefine their reality.
Charles A. Metzner's E. Frankenstein - The Postmodern Prometheus is an exploration of human ambition and the consequences for it. While remaining Frankenstein mythos, it expands it, leading readers from its original cautionary tale of the source material to one illustrating a pathway for mankind's relentless pursuit of progress.
