In Part Four, we explore whether Victor Frankenstein will heed his monster's plea to foster a love that longs for him. What might happen if he rewires his rejection? And if he chooses acceptance? How much patience can the despised creature muster for his creator, and how receptive is Victor likely to be? This raises questions about whether the story will spiral into catastrophe, conclude happily, or unfold as a series of never-ending horrors.

Listen in to Part Four: Retribution on Riverside Readings, an audio drama podcast, where we bring the classics to life!

Death sits with us.
He breathes with us.
He is with us at all times.
No mountains made of stone;
No Lakes made of tears;
No Heart, however great, can ever conquer Him.

Death sits with us.
He breathes with us.
He is with us at all times.
Death everywhere, Death!
Death everywhere, Death!

So many people:
So much death everywhere, death!

So many animals:
So much death everywhere, death!

So many plants:
So much death everywhere, death!
