The first story's a comedy! You think of Mary Shelley & co reading these ghost stories and getting the inspiration to write their own - and it turns out it starts with a fun adventure involving a ghost barber who shaves people's eyebrows off. Adjusting my mental image of the Villa Diodati a bit here.
