    About this series

    Timeless. Beautiful. Dangerous.

     

    1816 — the Year Without a Summer — resulted in two of literature's most feared and beloved creations.

     

    Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

     

    Doctor Polidori's Vampyre.

     

    American biographer, Rachel Walton, attained international recognition for her Shelley bio, unearthing the horrific events which jolted Frankenstein and his wretch into existence on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. What she hadn't expected during her research was to fall in love with a man of gigantic structure, of uncommon beauty, of intriguing origin.

     

    Her research for the Polidori biography proves as startling. The publication of his Vampyre tale unearths a gothic horror that crawls from beneath the sod into London's ballrooms, grand townhomes and hotels; daring to invade the salons and bedchambers of the Royal family to satisfy its thirst. And despite the seeming impossibility of her findings Rachel must again confront the unexpected horror and consequences of true love.

      Rachel Walton is a young American biographer researching the life of Mary Shelley and her iconic novel and creature on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland.   But as she delves into the contents of an ancient document trunk that for generations has remained locked, she is repeatedly confronted by a man of gigantic structure, of uncommon beauty, of intriguing origin. The escalating threads of her investigation unexpectedly exhume aspects of Shelley's creation from the past, hacking and suturing precious memories to the unthinkable, stripping back the unblemished flesh to reveal what lies beneath.   With aspects of Frankenstein torn from the pages of the nineteenth century and rewritten into the twenty-first, Rachel uncovers the truth of the summer of 1816 when Mary Shelley dared to dip her quill into the ink of her darkest waking dream.   And ultimately, if she is to complete the biography, she has no option but to confront the horror of true love.

      Timeless. Beautiful. Dangerous. 1816 — the Year Without a Summer — resulted in two of literature's most feared and beloved creations. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Doctor Polidori's Vampyre. American biographer, Rachel Walton, attained international recognition for her Shelley bio, unearthing the horrific events which jolted Frankenstein and his wretch into existence in the peaceful lakeside village of Montreux, Switzerland. What she hadn't expected during her study was to fall in love with a man of gigantic structure, of uncommon beauty, of intriguing origin. The Polidori biography is her latest commission. Traveling to London, England she is hosted by Polidori's descendent, Aubrey, determined to uncover the reason for the doctor's spiraling depression and untimely demise after the publication of his tale of horror. Hoping he had found some kind of happiness, perhaps love, before his death. Personal letters and documents secured in his Soho family home reveal a rapidly evolving terror in the mist-shrouded alleys, grand townhomes and ballrooms of Georgian London as Polidori assists the Bow Street Runners in investigating a series of murders. Leading to the revelation of a creature thought to exist only within the pages of Polidori's novel. Despite her own experiences, Rachel was not prepared for the distortion of fiction, reality and time as she exhumes a mystery shrouded and buried beneath the sod for over two-hundred years. Nor could she have foreseen the consequence of an unexpected companionship with her seductive and beautiful host. Origin of the Vampyre: A Companion to Doctor Polidori's The Vampyre. A paranormal romance and time-blurring mystery by the author of the book club favorite: Fire on the Water: A Companion to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
