Books, Manuscripts
Lord Byron, John Polidori, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley, Claire Clairmont - in the summer of 1816, this 'knot of scribblers, male and female, with weak nerves and disordered brain' came together in Geneva. 'The Vampyre Family' is a glittering account of that season, and the devastating impact it had on all involved.
