Snow in June. Frost in July. A dim red sun behind a haze that wouldn't clear. In eighteen sixteen, summer simply didn't come — and the cause was a mountain that had exploded on the far side of the world a year before.

This episode follows the eruption of Tambora and the global winter it triggered: the failed harvests and famine, the disease that followed the hunger, and the strange ripples — from the birth of the bicycle to a dark, rainy holiday that gave Mary Shelley her monster.
