Part Three: The Abhorred Monster takes our story to a cave, where the creator and the monster try to understand each other, to hear about its struggles, trials, and endless quest for acceptance. As we explore self-reflection, societal structure, language, and all the mysteries of life that seem to be revealed in an instant, can the monster contain this newfound knowledge, or will we see it in a new light, accept it, and give it the life it wants?

Listen closely to this tale, as we hear from the monster itself, in Part Three: The Abhorred Monster on Riverside Readings, Where We Bring the Classics to Life!

Part Two: The Mad Scientist takes us into Victor Frankenstein's perspective. We learn about his background, dreams, ambitions, and the youthful enthusiasm for education and scientific progress. But how did these aspirations steer him toward animating a corpse? How did something so pure become haunted, hated, and filled with despair in Victor's heart?

Join us as we travel along the river in Part Two: The Mad Scientist on Riverside Readings - Where We Bring the Classics to Life!

We begin this dark tale in the streets of St. Petersburg, the alleyways of Archangel, and on a ship crossing the icy seas, all narrated by Robert Walton, voiced by Bakari Garvin. What do these letters reveal, and how do they set the stage for the story ahead? Why was he destined to meet Victor and share this unique story?
