By Deborah Daughetee

GENRE: Horror
LOGLINE: Imagine that one of the most renowned female horror fiction writers of our time rose from the grave to give a voice to her contemporaries, female horror writers whose works lie forgotten. Stories of ghosts and shape changers, curses and regret, murder and vengeance. We can resurrect these stories in an anthology series that has the unique angle of being introduced and commented upon by the specter of Mary Shelley and her immortal monster.

SYNOPSIS:

Based on the Bram Stoker Award-winning graphic novel, Mary Shelley Presents: Tales of the Supernatural presents the horror stories of women Victorian and Edwardian authors such as Elizabeth Gaskell (The Old Nurse's Story), Edith Nesbit (Man-Sized in Marble), Margret Strickland (The Strange Case of Allister Moeran), and Amelia B. Edwards (Monsieur Maurice). "That night I dreamed of The Creature, pieced together from corpses, revived … and was unloved. His tragedy has granted me immortality. Other women writers of my time have not been as lucky. Famous once, their ghostly stories now gather dust."- Mary Shelley from Mary Shelley Presents: Tales of the Supernatural. There is a treasure chest of these horror stories in the public domain.; stories of ghosts and shape changers, curses and regret, murder and vengeance. We can resurrect these stories in an anthology series that has the unique angle of being introduced and commented upon by the specter of Mary Shelley and her immortal monster.
