They were coming tonight to tell ghost stories. ‘A tale to freeze the blood,’ was the only rule. Switzerland, 1816. On a stormy summer night, Lord Byron and his guests are gathered round the fire.
Felix, their serving boy, can’t wait to hear their creepy tales.
Yet real life is about to take a chilling turn – more chilling than any tale…
For fans of Frankenstein this is a real treat.
We see the story behind the story, so it was great to see the links and what was imagined.
When Felix opens the door of his master’s home one night to a young girl, he is not prepared to hear one of the strangest stories ever told. He listens spellbound as young Lizzie tells him the tale of Francesca Stine and her secretive experiments with electricity. Once she has finished Felix cannot help but see his master’s guests – Mary Godwin and Percy Shelley – slightly differently.
