Michael Crawford enters the nightmarish world of the lamia one dark and stormy night when he slips his fiancee's wedding ring on the statue of a nude woman. The morning after his wedding to Julia, he awakes to find his bride's mutilated body next to him in bed. He flees this horror and encounters John Keats who explains that a vampire, or lamia, has a firm hold on him. Soon after, Michael goes to Switzerland where Byron, Shelley and John Polidori become a part of his struggle to free himself from his curse. |
