The weather went from being beautiful to tempestuous: torrential
thunderstorms plagued the Shelleys, Byron and Polidori. The weather
-- along with the company and the eerie ambiance of the locale --
contributed to the genesis of _Frankenstein, _ Polidori's "The
Vampyre," and, in all likelihood, modern weird fiction. On the
night of June 16th, the group read aloud a collection of German
ghost stories, _The Fantasmagoriana._ This inspired Byron to
challenge the group to write a ghost story. Shelley wrote an
forgettable story; Byron wrote a story fragment; and Polidori began
the "The Vampyre," the first modern vampire tale. (Jacketless
library hardcover.)
