Prometheus' Daughter (Post-Apocalyptic Gothic)

In the ruins of Geneva, decaying buildings stand silent witness to the twilight of humanity. Adele, a doctor like her mother before her, uncovers a long abandoned medical laboratory during a scavenging expedition. Believing that her discovery may be the key to mankind’s survival, she eagerly delves into the lab’s secrets. Her dream of saving humanity quickly turns into an obsession, driving away the people she loves most. When her experiments bear fruit in the form of a genetically engineered clone, Adele finds that her daughter is not at all as she had expected her to be. Will her creation bring hope and life back to the sun-scorched world? Or will her hubris condemn her and everyone around her?

Matthew Karabache is addicted to stories of all kinds, devouring those made up by others and creating his own with equal gusto. Mythology and folklore hold a special fascination for him and he plunders them for ideas and other riches like some sort of literary pirate. He has been writing for as long as he can remember and will continue to do so for ever and ever. You can't stop him, so there. He lives in Brisbane, Australia.
