CANDILYNN FITE & THE MOST INFAMOUS SKETCH STORIES!

On this day in 1816, the Shelleys, Lord Byron and entourage gathered at the Villa Diodati on Lake Geneva

to tell the ghost stories that would trigger Frankenstein.

This most legendary of storm-tossed evenings was a literary lightning bolt.

It will be safer than the one hosted by Mary Shelly.

When word circulated that the infamous Byron had taken up residence at the Villa Diodati on Lake Geneva,

one enterprising hotelier installed a telescope in order that his guests might get a close-up of the "League of Incest" --

Byron, Shelley, Mary Shelley, Claire Clairmont (half-sister to Mary, pregnant with Byron's child), John Polidori (Byron's physician) -- in action.

One gossipy note sent back to England from a nearby villa testified to Byron cavorting with "another family of very suspicious appearance,"

though the communicant admitted, "How many he has at his disposal out of the whole set I know not. . . ."
