Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, The Book That Changed the WorldMonster: Publishing to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and a movie starring Elle Fanning as Mary Shelley, Monster is a brilliant fictionalized biography akin to The Other Boleyn Girl. Frankenstein: Two centuries ago this year, the young woman who invented science fiction was only 20 when she wrote the book that became Frankenstein. Mary Shelley said, "People ask how I, then a young girl, could think of, and dilate upon, so hideous subject?" Gothic Romance: Her father gave her a far better education than any woman of the age could hope for and made her the victim of ongoing incest. At 15, she became involved with one of the greatest poets in England and made love to him on her mother's grave. When she was 16, she escaped from home by running away for a six week walking tour of Europe and formed a menage a trois with Shelley and her sister. Mary Shelley - Frankenstein: Her immediate influences were two of the greatest poets of the age. Her lover, Percy Shelley, coached her to expand her understanding of writing. Her mentor, Lord Byron, challenged her to prove she was as good a writer as the best poet-philosophers of the Enlightenment. Both men admired her mind, and both wanted more. By the time she was 20, she published the book that changed the world.

As a young man learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this earth, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. With the help of special rocks, he transforms the world into one dreamed of by Nikola Tesla whose theories on quantum physics where ultimately proven to be a true science. The odyssey takes him around the world finding resistance at every turn. He creates so much havoc that a one world leader puts out a death warrant for his life. The love in this world had died and he was the only one that knew why. The truth had become an act of terrorism while the punishment comes from a guillotine. The hate that infected society turned many into zombie like lizard people that came from a foreign DNA injection turning some into half-human half-animal creatures. It came from a lie by the one world leader convincing them that if they received the needle they could become immortal. The demons that lived in our dreams are no longer living in another dimension. They are here on earth now pushing the One World Government in the direction that was chosen by the dark lord. His hatred for humanity is the one prevalent indicator of his plan as billions are put to death without cause. With this, the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind by using a holy plant that had been demonized.
