The Dedalus Book of French Horror: the 19th century

Author: Terry Hale

Translator: Liz Heron   Cover illustration: David Smith  

"Hale's inspired selection - he includes little-known pieces by Sade, Baudelaire, Dumas and Maupassant, as well as stories by unjustly forgotten writers such as Catulle Mendes, Jean Pichepin, Charles Nodier and Petrus Borel - not only makes this an invigorating collection to read, it virtually redefines the boundaries of the French horror genre."
