The universe of Christopher Chaos adds a new chapter with the one-shot The Perfectly Monstrous Life of Adam Frankenstein, on sale in August. The story focuses on Adam, an artificial being who faces rejection from a world that fears him. The publication delves into his origins and his struggle to find his own place within the main series The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos.
Narrative construction of an artificial monster 🧬
The one-shot addresses the creation of Adam Frankenstein from a technical and emotional perspective. The plot explores how his artificial design determines his physical abilities and social isolation. The writer develops an arc that contrasts the engineering of his body with the fragility of his psyche, showing how the technology that created him also condemns him to a marginal existence. The story promises to detail the flaws of a system that did not foresee the consciousness of its own creation.
The drama of being the neighborhood weirdo 😅
Adam Frankenstein has typical teenage problems: making friends, getting people not to scream when they see you, and, while he's at it, not causing panic at the supermarket. The one-shot promises scenes where he tries to socialize and ends up scaring even the mailman. At least, if all else fails, he can always blame his creator for not including an instruction manual on how to fit into society.
