Villa Diodati

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Villa Diodati is a manor in Cologny close to Lake Geneva. It is most famous for having been the summer residence of Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, John Polidori and others in 1816 in which the basis for the classical horror stories Frankenstein and The Vampyre was laid.

This meeting is retold in Chuck Palahniuk's novel Haunted, where the frame plot takes place in a modern version of the Villa Diodati.
