'He stretched out his two long, lank arms, that looked like spider’s claws, and seemed to embrace with them the expanse before him'
His inheritance squandered and engagement severed, Guido di Cortese stalks the desolate Genoese coast. A monstrous creature, shipwrecked by a ferocious storm, offers him unimaginable wealth to exchange bodies, entwining their fates. Transformation, with two further tales of striking and eerie power here, shows how Mary Shelley haunts us still.

After the tragic loss of three of her four children and drowning of Percy Shelley in Italy, she returned to England and continued to write until her own death.
