Man-Made Troubles

Frankenstein is arguably the most famous horror story ever told, written by Mary Shelley when she was just nineteen. That book explored ideas of creation, rebellion, terror, arrogance, mortality, immortality, and more.

Today's most talented authors build upon the original themes and topics to present new ghastly fiction based on many of the various aspects of the original Frankenstein story. But there was a catch to the assignment -- each story could only be four pages long.

Enjoy these tales, which have been distilled down to their very essence for your horrific pleasure.
