Dans ce roman, une série de disparitions mystérieuses, trouvera son explication de la plus étrange des manières; des extraterrestres invisibles, enlèvent des être humains pour les étudier et tenter des expériences sur eux. Ce roman monté comme un mécanisme d'horlogerie marie trois genres (policier, fantastique, et science-fiction), et d'autres encore, dans une atmosphère qui associe la fraîcheur de la belle époque à un rythme et un suspense redoutables.

The present volume is a book of sirens, edited and translated from the French by Brian Stableford. The notion of sirens-or, more pedantically, sirènes-was taken up with particular relish by writers who described themselves as Symbolists, having picked up the torch of French Romanticism in order to carry forward its quest to defend fertile, inventive and richly meaningful imagination against the corrosions of positivistic thought. Featuring stories by Remy de Gourmont, Catulle Mendès, and many others, The Snuggly Sirenicon is a key collection of the microsubgenre of mermaid fiction, the inherent fascination of that motif ensuring that it is anything but tedious.

The Snuggly Satanicon

FLAUBERT, GUSTAVE

Genre Fiction

Images of a hypothetical afterlife experienced by the human psyche following the death of the body are among the purest products of the human imagination: a blank canvas on which creativity can be exercised with complete freedom. In the present volume, edited and translated by Brian Stableford, thirteen exemplars of the genre are featured, several of which appear in English for the first time. Including entries by such figures as Judith Gautier, Maurice Renard, and Lucie Delarue-Mardrus, the stories included here, though not offering "answers" to questions that are, in fact, fundamentally unanswerable, do illustrate the fact, that just because a question is rationally unanswerable, it does not mean that there is no philosophical and psychological advantage to be gained by its contemplation. There is pleasure in that contemplation, but that pleasure is dependent on the ability to provide nourishing food for thought as well as piquant taste sensation. Afterlife fantasies, composed with intelligence and esthetic verve-all the examples assembled here have both-are life-enhancing, even, and perhaps especially, when they are infernal rather than paradisal. After all, as the French put it, c'est la vie.

Snuggly Tales of the Afterlife

Gautier, Judith

Often hailed as the best French science fiction writer of the early 20th century, Maurice Renard coined the term "Scientific Marvel Fiction" to pen a series of gripping, ground-breaking stories that owe as much to Edgar Allan Poe as they do to H.-G. Wells. Until now, Renard was best known to the English-speaking public for his thrice-filmed thriller, The Hands of Orlac.   Dedicated to Wells, Maurice Renard's Doctor Lerne (1908) features a mad scientist who performs organ transplants not only between men and animals, but also with plants, and even machines. It is the first of a series of five volumes, translated and annotated by Brian Stableford, devoted to presenting the classic works of this pioneering giant of French science fiction. This volume also includes "Mr Dupont's Vacation" (1905), a story about dinosaurs returning to life, and Renard's 1909 revolutionary manifesto on "Scientific Marvel Fiction."

Wells. Until now, Renard was best known to the English-speaking public for his thrice-filmed thriller, The Hands of Orlac. The Blue Peril (1911), which many consider to be Renard's masterpiece, features invisible alien creatures which live in high Earth orbit and which, feeling threatened by man's incursion into space, retaliate by fishing for men the way we capture fish, and studying our species. It is the third of a series of five volumes, translated and annotated by Brian Stableford, devoted to presenting the classic works of this pioneering giant of French science fiction.
