Whilst traveling with Percy Shelley and Claire Clairmont to Geneva one summer, they all met up with Lord Byron and his friend John William Polidori in May of 1816 at the Villa Diodati near Lake Geneva. Lord Byron and her husband, Percy Shelley challenged her to write a story of the horror genre. Little did they know she would create a masterpiece.
