Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Characterized by gratuitous acts of brutality and surprise endings, these tales of obsession and violence are the creations of a twentieth-century French writer whose works were staged by the legendary Theatre du Grand-Guignol of Paris. The precursors of modern thrillers and slasher films, these stories have been specially selected for this edition and introduced by horror specialist S. T. Joshi. Thirty-nine conte cruel ("cruel tales") include "In the Light of the Red Lamp," in which a husband's photographs of his dead wife reveal a deeper tragedy; "Fascination," the tale of a morbid passion that develops when the narrator, determined to stay at home, shoots his mistress for the sake of peace and quiet; and "The Bastard," concerning a father's suspicions about his son's paternity. Other stories include "The Taint," a view of infanticide as mercy-killing; "The Test," in which an accused murderer is forced to reenact his crime; and "A Maniac," recounting a thrill-seeker's ghoulish impulse to witness death-defying stunts gone wrong. AUTHOR: French author Maurice Level (18751926) specialized in macabre short stories that appeared in Parisian newspapers and were staged by the Theatre du Grand-Guignol, a repertory company famed for its gory melodramas. S. T. Joshi is a literary critic, novelist, and a leading figure in the study of H. P. Lovecraft and other authors of weird and fantastic fiction. Characterized by gratuitous acts of brutality and surprise endings, these tales of obsession and violence are the creations of a French writer whose works were staged by the Theatre du Grand-Guignol of Paris.

David Ho (illustrator). Lakewood: Centipede Press:, 2013. Hardcover, Second edition, Fine in Fine dust jacket, 515 pp. Cover artwork by: David Ho An "as new" copy. "Maurice Level (1875-1926), was a French writer of fiction and drama who specialized in short stories of the macabre which were sometimes staged by le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol, the repertory company in the Pigalle district devoted to melodramatic productions. Level's short stories are strong on obsession and violence. Their surprise endings are reminiscent of the stories of Guy de Maupassant, and their gratuitous acts and mindless brutality, may be seen as precursors of thriller fiction and slasher films. This collection has a stamped cover by Jason C. Eckhardt and some interior black & white illustrations. The book is edited and introduced by S. T. Joshi." Two complete novels and more than a dozen short stories. Full-color wrap-around jacket. Very pretty. Hardcover, Second edition, Fine in Fine dust jacket,
