This modern update of a classic Gothic horror novel presents Mary Shelley's Frankenstein as it has never been seen (or heard) before: as a true crime podcast. Join podcasters Robert Walton and Margaret Saville as their journey investigating Victor Frankenstein for an unsolved murder spirals into a stranger tale of buried secrets, mysterious deaths, and science gone too far...

 

True Crime Frankenstein: A Modern Reflection was my Media Studies senior thesis at Vassar College. An audio drama adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, I wrote, directed, and edited the entire series with production assistance from the Media Studies Program and the Merely Players student theater organization. The show was recorded in the Chicago Hall Audio Studio on Vassar College's campus and edited using the program Hindenburg PRO. The show was publicly released April 22, 2022.
