In June 1816, a New England farmer woke to find snow falling on his summer crops. Ten thousand miles away, an Indonesian volcano had exploded, and what it threw into the sky was about to change the world. 

This is the story of Mount Tambora's eruption, the year summer never arrived, and the unexpected consequences that rippled across continents: failed harvests, mass migration, literature's greatest monsters, and even the invention of the bicycle. Discover how one catastrophic explosion helped shape the modern world.
