Quatrième de couverture : "Je traînai le cercueil et son infernal contenu jusqu'au bûcher. Je regardai le feu consumer le tout ; j'entendis seul le hurlement strident, le glapissement de rage que les flammes crachèrent comme autant de blasphèmes. Toute la nuit, je regardai rougeoyer et décroître les cendres du bûcher. C'est alors qu'un chat noir apparut sur le seuil de ma porte et me lança un mauvais regard. Et je me souvins du sentier que j'avais suivi à travers les marais, des empreintes boueuses, de la fange sur mes souliers. Je me souvins du coup de griffe à mon poignet, du Livre Noir que j'avais signé. Je me tournai vers le chat tapi dans l'ombre et l'appelai doucement par son nom. Il s'approcha, s'assit sur son derrière. Je sortis mon revolver du tiroir du bureau et tirai posément. Le chat me regardait toujours. Pas un poil de sa moustache n'avait bougé.". Livre.
