Bromani J. Story's take on 'Frankenstein' is devastating but crucial in showing how classic tales can be effectively brought into a modern context.

It not only represents a story, so many of us from gang areas know all too well, of losing those we love to violent cycles without rescue. It also takes a familiar story and expertly reimagines it from this crushing perspective.
