No. It's actually based on a real story which Mary Shelley heard from a mysterious beggar in Geneva in 1816. It is a famed local legend, apparently, though modern scholarships suggest it actually originated when Edward John Trelawny (who would later befriend the Shelleys) was somewhat drunkenly sitting by the Lake Geneva and Lord Byron (also intoxicated) spotted him. Trelawny then told Lord Byron and the physician John Polidori the story, possibly made up on the spot but which soon caught on.
