16 juin 1816. L'orage gronde. Dans une ville cachée au milieu des arbres, sur les bords riants du lac de Genève, une petite société s'ennuie. Il y a deux poètes, Byron et Shelley, leurs compagnes, Claire et Mary, un médecin, Polidori. On se raconte d'horrifiques histoires, selon la mode du temps. On décide même d'en écrire. Dans la nuit, la jeune Mary - elle n'a pas encore dix-neuf ans - ne peut dormir : elle rêve d'un " hideux fantasme d'homme ". Quelques jours plus tard naissent Victor Frankenstein et sa créature. Récit d'une inquiétante nouveauté, vite porté à la scène, très souvent ensuite à l'écran. Devenu si mythique que, dans l'esprit du public qui a oublié Mary Shelley, le créateur et sa créature se sont confondus. [payot.ch]
