The Fated Hour is a 19th-century period piece set in Austria based on Friedrich Laun’s short story “The Relationship with the Spirit World,” famously cited as a key influence on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Blending psychological unease with spectral ambiguity, Laun’s work helped shape the evolution of Gothic fiction from folkloric ghost story into modern psychological horror.
