Stories From the Year Without a Summer?

Question

I have seen the story many times: Percy and Mary Shelley (not yet wed) paid an a visit to Lord Byron in 1816. Attributed now to the eruption at Mount Tambora, this year was unseasonably cool. Spending extended periods indoors, the group at least once resorted to reading ghost stories. From this, a writing competition was born. They were to write their own horror story. The work by Mary eventually resulted in Frankenstein. The work by Byron inspired a work that later inspired Dracula.\n\nAre these the only works known from that "competition"?

Answer 1

Other than "A Fragment" (precursor to Vampyre, which was itself a precursor to Dracula"), and Frankenstein, (or, the Modern Day Prometheus), Lord Byron's poem "Darkness" was well-received. I recommend the Gabriel Byrne movie "Gothic" for a great visualization of the group and their writing "competition" during the Year Without a Summer.
