Reviled. Frankenstein, #2

Soren emerges from his rejuvenation tank to find he's no longer technically alive. Where once he was both Dr. Frankenstein AND the Frankenstein monster, now he's just the monster. All that remains of his higher consciousness resides in the mindchip. Unless he can reanimate his body, that's where it'll stay. But the monster is learning to block access to the mindchip more and more with each passing day.
If Soren is not to remain in this state, he's going to have to act fast, and get help. The problem is, he threatened to kill his ad hoc family of paranormals. Now they-including his girlfriend, Naomi-are running scared. Just because Soren is sidetracked with his own survival issues-the monster in him growing darker and more powerful by the day-doesn't mean his arch-nemesis is taking a break. Victor Truman has introduced an entity to the planet by opening a portal over Syracuse, NY that is his most unstoppable yet.
People are dying en masse and suffering like never before. And so far, no magic has proven powerful enough to neutralize the latest celestial wizard to come crashing to Earth. The one person who might be able to stop him? Ironically, it's the beast, if only Soren can learn to work better with the ever-more powerful, darker side of his nature. His journey into his own heart of darkness may destroy him, though, long before it destroys the latest threat to the planet.
