During the rainy summer of 1816, four of the most talented English writers of their time gathered at Villa Diodati. The mansion on the shores of Lake Geneva was the setting in which Lord Byron, John Polidori, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Mary Shelley were challenged to write a horror story. That game led London-based author Mary Shelley to create Frankenstein, one of the great heights of Gothic horror and a brilliant reflection on scientific ethics. The novel recounts the attempt of a young medical student to create artificial life and the dire consequences of his experiment.
