The book includes the two "ghost" stories written at the same castle holiday, by Lord Byron and Dr. John  Polidori. Both are vampiric in nature, with Byron's story actually influencing Polidori's story, which is more explicitly about vampires. So a surprising spooky two for one deal here, with the original Frankenstein story and some early vampires.
