  • The Memoirs of Maxime Odin
    Charles Nodier / Brian Stableford
    In 1831 Charles Nodier began to publish a series of 'Extraits des mémoires de Maxime Odin' in the Revue de Paris. Although 'Odin' is an anagram of the first four letters of Nodier, the relationship between the author and 'Maxime Odin' is far more complicated than a simple transfiguration, and although all the stories in the present collection are entirely fictitious, the intens...

  • French Tales of Mad Scientists Volume 2
    Brian Stableford
    The mad scientist is a stereotypical, archetypal scientist who is often a cliché or commonplace in popular fiction. He can be absent-minded and harmless, or wicked and dangerous. French science fiction, in particular, features a remarkable number of novels and stories on this theme, enough to justify the three volumes that we intend to devote to this topic. In this thematic col...

  • The Princess of Darkness
    Rachilde / Brian Stableford
    Rachilde, the writer whose formal name was Marguerite Vallette-Eymery (1860-1853), is primarily remembered today for her sensational decadent novel Monsieur Vénus (1884), which was prosecuted as pornography in Belgium, where it was initially published, resulting in a conviction and a sentence of two years’ imprisonment imposed in absentia. She was, however, the author of numero...

  • Human Life
    Jules Lermina / TBD / Brian Stableford
    In 1892 Jules Lermina (1839-1915) published a collection of short fiction titled La Magicienne, with the specialist occult publisher Chamuel. The current volume brings together the bulk of the material in that book, subsidized by additional items-two short occult fantasies and a humorous novelette. For most of the twentieth century Lermina’s works were the almost-exclusive prov...

  • Rapid Tales
    Jane de La Vaudère / Brian Stableford
    From April 1897 until April 1903, Jane de La Vaudère (1857-1908) published in the Parisian newspapers La Presse and La Lanterne a series of over one hundred vignettes, mostly under the heading Contes Rapides. These brief stories, of beauty, horror, humor, love, and cruelty, carry strategies of narrative minimalism to a new level, and show the work of a masterful female author w...

  • Isuren and Other Stories
    Henri Martin / Brian Stableford
    Henri Martin (1810-1883), a part of the coterie surrounding Honoré de Balzac, though largely forgotten today, deserves credit for writing 'Isuren,' the first significant French contribution to what eventually became a subgenre of 'prehistoric fantasy,' extensively developed in the belle époque, when the censorious privileges of the Church had finally evaporated, by such neo-Rom...

  • The Story of the King of Bohemia and his Seven Castles
    Charles Nodier / Brian Stableford
    The Story of the King of Bohemia and his Seven Castles, here presented in English for the first time in a translation by Brian Stableford, is one of the most unusual works of Charles Nodier, and can readily be seen as a remote precursor of Alfred Jarry’s 'pataphysics,' Guillaume Apollinaire’s 'surrealism' and Dadaism. Originally published in 1830, more than a hundred years befo...

  • Sabbat
    Hélène Picard / Brian Stableford
    Sabbat, by Hélène Picard (1873-1945), first published in 1923, is one of the most forthright contributions to the rich French tradition of 'literary Satanism.' It was issued as part of a 'Collection Colette,' and is dedicated to Colette, who also provided the preface, the brief text of which implies strongly that the book was commissioned by her. Seeing Satan emerging from a po...

  • The Temple of Gnide
    Charles-Louis de Secondat Montesquieu / TBD / Brian Stableford
    Originally published anonymously in 1725, and here presented in a fresh translation by Brian Stableford, The Temple of Gnide is Montesquieu’s illicit smash hit from the Age of Enlightenment. The author, whose works were all placed on the Index Prohibitorum by the Church, making it a sin to read them, or even to know of their existence, composed this short novel, or long prose p...

    When Jean Lorrain (1855-1906) was recruited to the stable of writers assembled by Catulle Mendès to supply L’Écho de Paris with material on a weekly basis, in July 1890, he joined in readily with the experimental spirit of that enterprise, exploring various narrative strategies that could be employed in fitting work to slots that varied in length between 1,000 and 2,000 words. ...
