Frankenstein
What if the spark of life you ignited turned into a nightmare you couldn’t control? In Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but tormented scientist, shatters the boundaries of nature to breathe life into his darkest ambition—only to unleash a haunting force that mirrors humanity’s deepest fears. As obsession twists into terror and creation confronts creator, one question remains: Is the true monster born of flesh… or the ruin of a soul that dared to play God?

On Earth as It Is on Television
What if aliens descended upon Earth—only to vanish overnight, leaving humanity more bewildered than invaded? In Emily Jane’s On Earth as It Is on Television, a suburban dad unravels under his family’s chaos, a disillusioned heiress questions her place in the cosmos, and a man reborn from decades of silence chases a cryptic cat toward the unknown. As bacon-loving UFOs and TV-obsessed children blur the line between absurdity and existential dread, one truth emerges: the universe is stranger than we imagined… and the cats might know why. Will their fractured lives collide before the aliens’ secret reshapes reality—or will humanity’s greatest revelation vanish like a forgotten sitcom rerun?
