I Frankenstein: Scientists vs. Monsters – The Mind-Blowing Backstory You Can’t Ignore When you hear Frankenstein, what comes to mind? A stitched-together creature, a tragic genius, or a timeless tale of humanity’s dark experimentation? Beyond the obvious horror, I Frankenstein: Scientists vs. Monsters plunges into a gripping backstory that blends ambition, ethics, and the chilling consequences of unchecked science. This lesser-known but deeply impactful narrative reshapes how we see the classic monster—no longer just a villain, but a symbol of science’s double-edged power. ### Why Frankenstein Was More Than Just a Monster Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818) launched a revolution in literature, but the story of I Frankenstein—a prequel and spiritual successor by Ramsay Arthur Black—deepens the psychological and moral conflict. While Shelley’s Victor Frankenstein races to create life, Black’s scientist Victor Frankenstein confronts an even darker dilemma: what happens when science creates life that transmutes not just form, but soul.
