Year Without a Summer / 无夏之夏

The Year Without a Summer appears in 141. 制造弗兰肯斯坦：科幻之母和她的神奇时代 as the 1816 climate anomaly following the Tambora eruption. The episode uses cold, bad weather, crop failure, hunger, and disease as the background that kept the Geneva circle indoors near [[VillaDiodati|Villa Diodati / 迪奥达蒂别墅]].

Its role in the source is not only meteorological. The strange weather helps turn social idleness, ghost-story reading, and scientific debate into a constrained creative setting where [[MaryShelley|Mary Shelley / 玛丽·雪莱]] begins [[Frankenstein|《弗兰肯斯坦》]] and [[JohnPolidori|John Polidori / 约翰·波利多里]] produces a vampire-literature afterlife.
