Duchy, przeklęte portrety i pokoje, w których lepiej nie nocować. Oto mrożące krew w żyłach historie, które odsłaniają cienką granicę między światem żywych i umarłych
W ponury, mroczny dzień 1816 roku w willi nad Jeziorem Genewskim zebrała się grupa wybitnych angielskich pisarzy: George Byron, Percy Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, John William Polidori i Claire Clairmont. To na tym spotkaniu lord Byron rzucił myśl, by każdy z nich opowiedział swoją historię o duchach. I tak powstały Wampir Polidoriego i Frankenstein Mary Shelley, a co za tym idzie, narodziła się współczesna literatura grozy.
