About this ebook
Mary Shelley is haunted. Haunted beyond cemeteries and tombstones. Love and madness rattle her every day. Scandal and drama steal her sleep. And finally it is the stab of her own impending death that drives her to conjure the dead.
Inside the ruins of Castle Frankenstein in Darmstadt, Germany, a ghost resides within the painting Casa Magni by artist Francesco Bagnara. Art collector Robert Beauclerk purchases the Casa Magni and discovers a letter hidden between the backings. This letter is hand-written by author Mary Shelley in 1850 to her dead husband, poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Come into the cracking dark to experience Mary’s secret journey, a harrowing and heartbreaking attempt to find her dead husband’s ghost. Will Mary escape or succumb? Who will set her free?
