A new horror story from STAGS author

STAGS author MA Bennett introduces us to her terrifying Young Gothic horror novel, which draws on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein novel, and its creation in a villa in Italy.  Only for this new generation of young writers, the terrifying creatures don't stay in the book's pages....

Young Gothic:  You've heard of Frankenstein's monster, you've heard of Dracula, but have you heard of the Villa Diodati?  Eve, Griffin, Hal and Ren embark on a summer they'll never forget at the birthplace of all things Gothic.

The summer is beset by mysterious happenings, as the monsters they create begin to clamber out of their minds. Events rise to a horrible climax when, on a dark and stormy night, one of the villa's guests is found dead and each of our foursome becomes a suspect in a gruesome murder.

It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime. But when the stuff of nightmares becomes their reality, will they make it out alive?
