Description

The Vampyre by John Polidori and Other Macabre Tales

On a stormy night in June 1816, Lord Byron and his physician John Polidori hosted a gathering at the Villa Diodati, a manor house by Lake Geneva. Among the guests were Percy Bysshe Shelley and his future wife, Mary Godwin. The conversation turned to ghost stories, and as they dared each other to tell ever-more gruesome and spine-tingling tales, they created two of the most enduring figures of the gothic horror genre. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was born, while Polidori created the grisly tale that would make him the father of the vampire genre.
