Carrere reconfirms his stature as a master of legerdemain. Based on the legendary evening at Lake Geneva that ostensibly inspired Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Gothic Romance intertwines parallel stories of suspense set in the early nineteenth century and latter-day London. From the drug-induced demise of Byron's doctor, Polidori, to the entrapment of a young French writer, Ann, who cranks out romance novels for a mysterious Captain Walton, Carrere weaves an uncanny tale in which the imagined merges with the real, and the real turns out to be a charade. A literary parlor game of dazzling virtuosity, Gothic Romance, like The Mustache, is bound to enthrall anyone who starts reading it.
