Synopses

The Dead Town

The war against humanity intensifies as Rainbow Falls, Montana, comes under siege and scattered survivors unite to endure the onslaught. Victor Frankenstein pursues a nihilistic plan to remake the future and annihilate mankind, using creations described as shock troops of the Apocalypse. Deucalion, Frankenstein’s original and flawed attempt at replicating life, must finally confront his creator.

Lost Souls

Dr Frankenstein lives on, seemingly indestructible and increasingly malignant. Deucalion learns that a new incarnation, Victor Helios, is active again and moving closer to creating a new human race he can control. With two ex-cops who previously helped him, Deucalion is drawn to a small Montana town where grotesque new creations are taking shape.

Dead and Alive

As a devastating hurricane approaches New Orleans, Victor Helios unleashes his creatures onto the streets. With the city descending into chaos and engineered killers spinning out of control, the remaining hope lies with Deucalion. His path leads towards an ultimate confrontation with his pitiless creator.

City of Night

Victor Helios cannot contain the engineered killers he has set loose on a reign of terror through modern-day New Orleans. His creations develop minds and purposes of their own, beyond what he anticipated. Deucalion and Detectives O’Connor and Maddison race to uncover an age-old conspiracy as the new models infiltrate every level of the city’s society and beyond.

Prodigal Son

Deucalion arrives in New Orleans as the next generation of Frankenstein’s monsters is about to be unleashed by Victor Helios. His path crosses with Detective Carson O’Connor and her partner, Michael Maddison, who are tracking a serial killer stalking the city. Carson reluctantly joins forces with Deucalion against a wider threat: an entire race of killers, as Deucalion seeks a final confrontation with Dr Frankenstein.
