The Dedalus Book of French Horror

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.» Brendan King in The Times Literary Supplement
