The New Prometheus

By Philip Stengel

Some legacies are inherited. Others are resurrected.

In the sterile halls of the Halloway Institute, Dr. Victor Frankenstein III has spent his life outrunning a name soaked in blood and legend. A pioneer in neural organoids and synthetic biology, Victor believes he's built something different-something safe. But when his most advanced creation, codenamed Prometheus, awakens with the memories of its predecessors-and the torment they endured-the sins of the past come roaring back to life.

Prometheus is no mindless monster. It is a god in a man's body, born from generations of forbidden science and encoded trauma. Victor's attempt to isolate the past only amplified it, forging a weapon of perfect memory and terrible purpose.

As Prometheus breaks free of its cage, Victor is forced into a harrowing descent through his family's hidden laboratories, mutilated prototypes, and bloodstained journals. Every discovery reveals a deeper horror: the echo of generations who tried to play god-and paid the price.

The New Prometheus is a cerebral techno-horror thriller that fuses psychological dread with science fiction spectacle. A reimagining of Mary Shelley's mythos, it explores inherited trauma, the ethics of creation, and the fine line between genius and monstrosity.
