About the Book

A novelization by Stephen Volk from his own screenplay.

"To create a ghost story, what is that? But to create a ghost..."

June 16th 1816 at the Villa Diodati. The famous night of inspired imaginations that created monsters.

Byron. Shelley. Mary. Polidori. Claire.

Perhaps by morning they would escape the nightmare.  If they were all alive by morning.

If they were sane.
