Synopsis:
Characterized by gratuitous acts of brutality and surprise endings, these tales of obsession and violence are the creations of a 20th-century French writer whose works were staged by the legendary Théâtre du Grand-Guignol of Paris. The precursors of modern thrillers and slasher films, the nearly 40 stories have been selected and introduced by horror specialist S. T. Joshi.
About the Author: French author Maurice Level (1875–1926) specialized in macabre short stories that appeared in Parisian newspapers and were staged by the Théâtre du Grand-Guignol, a repertory company famed for its gory melodramas. S. T. Joshi is a literary critic, novelist, and a leading figure in the study of H. P. Lovecraft and other authors of weird and fantastic fiction.
