| book description |

In 1816, a series of unique climate events caused the coldest summer on record across the northern hemisphere. While rain and snow raged, a group of writers gathered together at the Villa Diodati in Geneva to wait out the season. Amongst those guests were some of the most prominent writers of the day, including Lord Byron and Percy Shelley. On one evening, a contest was proposed; to come up with the most terrifying ghost story ever seen. Over the course of the summer, some works were completed, and others were abandoned, but overall, the influence of that night has lasted centuries.Â This collection of works collects both the completed and uncompleted works from the contest, including fragments.
