ÔYou didnÕt want to be this way. They hurt you Ð this modern Prometheus.Õ
Exploring the origins of Mary ShelleyÕs Frankenstein and featuring multiple historical figures, The Haunting of Villa Diodati (2020) combines and revitalises Doctor WhoÕs institutions of Gothic horror and the Ôcelebrity historicalÕ. This volume delves into its inspiration in the apocalyptic darkness of 1816, its affinities with the Romantic poetry of Byron and Percy Shelley, and its marriage of FrankensteinÕs images and themes with the monstrous creations of Doctor Who tradition.
