The setting of a stormy summer night among literary giants sparked the creation of iconic works in horror fiction. Amidst torrential thunderstorms and an eerie atmosphere, Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Polidori were inspired to write after reading German ghost stories. Byron's challenge led to Shelley crafting a forgettable tale, while Polidori began his groundbreaking work, "The Vampyre," marking the birth of the modern vampire genre. This gathering not only influenced their individual stories but also shaped the future of weird fiction.
