Gathering at a Swiss mansion in 1816 with literary figures like Percy Shelley and Lord Byron, Claire navigates a landscape of desire, betrayal, and creative passion that ultimately gives birth to the modern vampire and the legend of Frankenstein. This biographical fiction documents Claire's desperate attempt to free herself from the role she plays in her sister's marriage by initiating an affair with Byron and recording the group's realities in her journal. It is an intentional look at the resilience required to survive the shadows of fame and the feminist history behind the creation of monsters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paragraph is-rich-chat-ui normal ng-star-inserted\" data-start-index=\"58\"\u003e\u003cspan data-start-index=\"58\" class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"paragraph is-rich-chat-ui normal ng-star-inserted\" data-start-index=\"837\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-start-index=\"837\" class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eWhy You’ll Love This Audiobook\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-start-index=\"837\" class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"paragraph is-rich-chat-ui normal ng-star-inserted\" data-start-index=\"867\"\u003e\u003cspan data-start-index=\"867\" class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eEmily Franklin’s narrative reclaims a marginalized historical voice, and Sophie Roberts’s narration brings an essential authenticity to this gothic epic.

This 17-hour performance is a significant choice for those interested in the lives of creative women and the muses who defied the social rules of their time.
