The Dedalus Book of French Horror: The 19th Century edited by Terry Hale (see contents for full list of authors)
Requirements: ePUB/MOBI reader, 1.3 MB
Overview: 100 hundred years of the best of French 19th-century literary horror.

'The two dozen authors collected here span the 19th century, from La Harpe in the aftermath of the Revolution to Huysmans' fin de siecle decadence. Poe, Hoffmann and the English Gothic novel all fed the imagination of the French fantasists, who frequently added a touch of Gallic wit to the heady brew of vampirism, ghostly gore and sexual misbehaving. Hale provides a scholarly introduction to this highly enjoyable selection of strange tales.' Scotland on Sunday
