Thirty Hours with a Corpse: and Other Tales of the Grand Guignol

Thirty Hours with a Corpse: and Other Tales of the Grand Guignol

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.

La plume de l'auteur est juste typique du style de l' poque: des passages descriptifs, lyriques jouant sur une mont e en suspense qui atteint son paroxysme lentement mais s rement, tenant le lecteur en haleine jusque dans les toutes derni res lignes. Le roman raconte l'histoire de On sime Coche, jeune journaliste parisien qui d couvre, par hasard, boulevard Lannes Paris, trois assasins apr s leur forfait et, par d duction, le lieu du crime. A la vue de la victime et de son environnement, il d cide de falsifier les preuves laiss es par les meurtriers et d'en cr er de nouvelles qui lui permettraient de r aliser un scoop... Mais le jeune journaliste va apprendre ses d pens qu'effectivement le crime ne paie pas m me avec de fausses preuves.

Assis dans un large fauteuil pr s de la chemin e, les coudes aux genoux, les mains tendues au feu, il parlait d'une voix lente, s'arr tant brusquement pour murmurer: Oui... oui..., comme s'il avait eu besoin de reconna tre ses souvenirs et d'approuver sa m moire fatigu e, puis reprenait la phrase interrompue. Sur la table tra naient des papiers, des chiffons, des livres. La lampe clairait mal; je ne voyais de lui que sa face un peu grise, et ses mains qui, sous la flamme du foyer, faisaient deux longues taches.

"I am neither a rou nor a degenerate; yet there are days when certain visions rise so definitely before me and I am a prey to such violent desires, that if, hitherto, I have been able to resist their attraction, it is impossible for me to say whether, an hour hence, I shall be able to do so. At other times, I feel strangely weary, as though I had just accomplished some gigantic task. I feel that my bones are broken, my muscles torn, and it is when I wake up that I feel this--when I wake up, after eight hours' sleep and rest, following no excess and troubled by no dreams. . . . I also have fits of inexplicable rage; of fury that would urge me to any crime; preconceived dislikes; I am so sensitive and excitable, that a word, a gesture, are sufficient to unhinge me: I suffer almost physically from all these things."
