Description
Wesley Allsbrook’s fantastic illustration captures the birth of monsters at the dawn of the Romantic age. In 1815, Mount Tambora erupted in the East Indies, producing a 60-megaton aerosol layer that cooled the Earth for three years, and Europe by as much as 6 degrees Fahrenheit. As Gillen D’Arcy Wood describes in the adjoining Nautilus article for print issue No. 11, the consequent darkness, rains, crop failures, and starvation inspired both Frankenstein, and an early version of Dracula—the disaster stories of their age.
