The Trial of Frankenstein (ePub)

Surprisingly, after their deaths, Victor Frankenstein and Frankenstein's creature or the monster are in the afterlife, where each one reflects on the mistakes made in the past life, being overwhelmed by unbearable regrets, which precede the final judgment. However, the monster, now known as Mr. Frankenstein, devised a brilliant strategy to postpone or permanently avoid this trial. In this regard, he convinces his creator to accompany him to hell and look for Henry Clerval.

The descent into the underworld is painful and traumatic. Although there are slim chances of evading the heavenly judgment, it is almost certain that they cannot get out of there or must return to face that trial, without presumption of innocence, and then go to a worse place in the hell. Although they meet Alphonse Frankenstein, who tells about his relationship with a secret society, aspirations about the future of his family and his secret participation in the Frankenstein project. In addition, they meet the owner of the underworld, who presents a strange proposal, but they must face him to regain their freedom, and no one has been able to defeat him in his world. Nonetheless, this demon has underestimated the great Victor Frankenstein, who knew how to defeat him, escape from hell, and return to start this trial, in which Victor Frankenstein and the so-called Mr. Frankenstein are judged.

In this trial, there are six charges against Victor Frankenstein, mainly for creating life in an unauthorized manner and being responsible for the creature's crimes. While four charges remain against Mr. Frankenstein, accused of several murders and causing other deaths. However, this is an atypical trial: each one accuses the other and the chances that both will be acquitted or sentenced with minor penalties are slim. Obviously, in the afterlife, Victor Frankenstein and Frankenstein's creature or the monster must respond for their serious faults...
