The Poet and the Vampyre: The Curse of Byron and the Birth of Literature's Greatest Monsters | 
#TBRtemptation post! Spring, 1816. Lord Byron sought to escape the spotlight. He took his doctor, John Polidori, with him to Geneva. Percy Shelley, & his lover Mary, & her step-sister Claire Claremont, all came too. It was a summer of tense bohemian living & amazing creativity. Mary started Frankenstein; Byron composed Childe Harold's Pilgrimage; Polidori began The Vampyre. The period afterward was just as tense. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
