About this book

The Vampyre Family: A Tale of Passion, Envy and the Curse of Byron by Andrew Stott. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781847678713.

In the spring of 1816, a knot of scribblers, male and female, with weak nerves and disordered brain gathered in Geneva. This account of the three months that Byron, Shelley, Mary Godwin, Claire Clairmont and John Polidori spent together tells how their stormy ménage, charged with artistic and sexual tensions, fuelled an outburst of creativity that produced Byrons Childe Harold, Shelleys Mont Blanc, Mary Shelleys Frankenstein and the first great vampire novel, Polidoris The Vampyre.
