A tale of science and morality, of love and loss, of hope and despair, the account of Victor Frankenstein's terrifying experiments into the very nature of life and death still echoes two hundred years after its original composition--an enduring reminder of man's ability to create and his ability to destroy. It has inspired generations of writers, artists, and filmmakers, and has borne countless adaptations--in print, on the stage, and on the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut nothing quite like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGris Grimly, another student of unhallowed arts and master of gothic horror, has long considered \u003cem\u003eFrankenstein\u003c\/em\u003e to be one of his chief inspirations.
