The premise

The latest psychiatrist assigned to assess whether inmate Victor Frank is mentally fit to stand trial for murder gives up in frustration and so the asylum head Dr Robert Walton steps in to do the job. Frank tells Walton his story. He was a scientist experimenting in the field of nanotechnology. Using nanobots that were capable of rebuilding the human body, Frank and his team had great success in helping the crippled, wheelchair-ridden Bryce Daniels regain use of his faculties. But then Bryce started to become unstable...

Horror Vault's take

Inside the cold walls of a psychiatric asylum, scientist Victor Frank recounts to his evaluating doctor a chilling tale of medical ambition gone catastrophically wrong. His experiments with nanotechnology promised miraculous healing — restoring movement and life to the broken and helpless — but something far darker emerged from his breakthrough. Equal parts courtroom character study and mad-science nightmare, Frankenstein Reborn transplants Mary Shelley's timeless cautionary fable into a near-future laboratory setting. What begins as hope curdles into dread as the line between healer and creator blurs beyond recognition.
