By Jo Mazelis. Did Fanny really commit suicide in an inn in Swansea in 1816, as historians thought?. The letters instead suggest a faked death and an escape from Fanny's fraught family life. It could have been an independence of which Fanny's mother would have been proud.

About this product

Product Information

Fanny Imlay, Mary Shelley's half-sister, lies dead in distant Swansea. But did she really die? A cache of letters from 1816 suggest that like Shelley's Frankenstein, Imlay had a second life, similarly misunderstood, used and rejected. Who is the mysterious owner of the letters and can they be believed? Cease Upon Midnight is a gothic tour de force.
