It all began the way many horror stories do: with a storm. A storm that would change not only the course of a summer, but also the course of time itself... Villa Diodati, 1816. Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, John Polidori, and Claire Clairmont are spending a strange summer at the house by Lake Geneva. The outside world is shrouded in darkness under a sunless sky, while closed doors reveal shadows that shouldn't exist. The creatures they have imagined in their stories are beginning to come to life in impossible ways. And then Julian arrives... Julian is a young pilot from the 20th century, marked by war and by an impossible experiment: to change an event from the past to see if the future can be rewritten. But the longer he spends in the mansion, the more evident it becomes that his very presence is disrupting something fundamental. Elisabeth, a young maid at the mansion, seems to be the only one capable of understanding what is happening. She becomes increasingly aware that she is at the center of something that could alter not only the course of history, but also her own life. Together with Julian, she will try to understand the limits of time and the strange logic that governs Villa Diodati: a house that observes, that reacts... and that may even be alive. The Summer That Never Was is a novel about the power of stories, the dangers of playing with time, and the moment when monsters cease to be mere fiction. A tribute to Gothic literature and an intimate reflection on the invisible threads that connect past, present, and future.
