I'm a huge fan of the Dedalus Publishing Company, especially their anthologies but this one was really tough to get through. I just couldn't get into the writing style of the French 19th Century authors. If you enjoy Charles Baudelaire, Marquis De Sade, Alexander Dumas, J.K Huysmans and Guy de Maupassant (all of whom are represented in this anthology) then I'd suggest giving this anthology a go despite my review. Personally, I found most of the stories pretty boring and lacking in the creepy eeriness that Dedalus anthologies usually generate for me. The most memorable stories were The Hanged Man by Charles Cros and The Prisoner of his Own Masterpiece by Edmund Haraucourt, the latter was particularly creative and horrifying. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

100 hundred years of the best of French 19th-century literary horror. "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."

Contains many very rare texts, including one of Petrus Borel's Immoral Tales: 'Monsieur de l'Argentiere, Public Prosecutor', probably the only accessible sample of Borel's work in English. ( )
