Episode description
This week Abby and Rebecca walk through the fever dream that is 1986’s Gothic. We follow Mary Godwin (later Shelley), Percy Shelley, and Claire Claremont as they arrive at Lord Byron’s castle. They drink a lot of laudanum, interact with leeches, and sort of have orgies. After this haunted summer, Mary Shelley would write Frankenstein and Polidori Vampyr. Two better stories but instead we have to watch Lord Byron abuse people.
