Synopsis
A gripping anthology of classic gothic horror, featuring Mary Shelley&’s Frankenstein and two vampire tales. What happens when writers vacation together and challenge each other to write ghost stories? On a stormy night in 1816, the writers Mary Shelley, John William Polidori, and Lord Byron undertook a challenge that would change history and create the gothic genre. The result is three chilling tales of monsters, vampires, and murder. Lord Byron&’s &“A Fragment&” is of historical importance as it is one of the very first vampire stories. Does it stand the test of time? &“The Vampyre,&” by John Polidori, recounts the story of Aubrey and Lord Ruthven. What dark secret lies between them? In Frankenstein, a university student unleashes a monster upon the world. Or is he the real monster? If you love gothic horror, you&’ll love One Stormy Night. Get it now.
