The French have always had a strong affinity for interplanetary fiction since Cyrano de Bergerac released his History of the States and Empires of the Moon in 1657. But none of the celewstial bodies have attracted more attention than the planet Mars.We have gathered in this thematic collection five remarkable stories, plus a full-length novel from 1908 by H. Gayar devoted to the exploration of Mars and its inhabitants. These range fromas early as 1766, when Marie-Anne de Roumier-Robert used a genie to take her heroes to Mars; to 1802, when Nicolas-Edm Restif de la Bretonne's superpowered hero Multipliandre stopped on the Red Planet during is exploration of the cosmos; and to 1889 when Georges Le Faure & Henri de Graffigny's ambitious Franco-Russian space travelers used a fragment of Mercury torn away by a comet, to reach our Fourth Planet.These stories are all unique and highly original and provide exemplars of the rich tradition of fantastic voyages, in the broad spectrum of French fantastic literature.TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction by J.-M. & Randy LofficierMarie-Anne de Roumier-Robert: The Voyages of Lord Seaton to the Seven Planets (1766) (excerpt)Nicolas-Edm Restif de la Bretonne: Posthumous Correspondence (1802) (excerpt)X.B.

Strange Xmas toys appearing out of nowhere by the millions are so extraordinary that they are forcing mankind into a state of dependence, while the universe is slowly grinding down. Finding who sent them, and why, is the job of New York journalist Sydney Gordon, his wife Margaret, and their friends Professor Archibald and Gloria Brent. That journey will take them to the strange and amazing world of the Borloks, alien toys which hide a secret older than time itself... At the start of the 21st century, when humanity has instant access to all forms of leisure in all its virtual worlds, our idealized, abstract and yet screamingly real creations may want to take our place. What a challenge for Sydney Gordon and his son Bud Could the Borloks have returned to spread chaos on Earth, and who is hiding behind their old enemies? Richard Bessi re (1923-2011) was one of the greatest authors of the silver age of French science fiction. One of his most endearing creations was journalist Sydney Gordon, whose tongue in cheek adventures blended the most outrageous sci-fi concepts with hilarious comedy. This book reprints the iconic 1968 novel by Bessi re, with a sequel penned in 2012 by the team of J.-M. Lofficier & J.-M. Archaimbault.

In the 1850s, when Paul F val wrote The Vampire Countess, no one in France knew for sure how tolerant the reading public might be of fictions which brought vampirism into the real world. All the French literary works in which vampires had previously been featured had been calculatedly fanciful romances drawn from foreign sources and set in faraway places. A tale of Paris in the final days of the Consulate, which pretended to be true to the facts of history and employed a cast mingling real and fictitious individuals, must have seemed a different matter.There were good reasons to doubt the propriety of placing a "real" vampire in such a setting. The victory of science over superstition, if not yet entirely secure, seemed inevitable. French readers had thrilled to the dark delights of German and English Gothic novels, but French novelists had not been nearly so willing to dabble in such absurdities. The Vampire Countess, was probably the sixth full-length vampire novel to be published, and the first time the word vampire appeared as a feminine rather than a masculine noun. It would be a long time before any other writer contrived a vampire as perversely charismatic as The Vampire Countess or any of the characters featured in this anthology.

The mad scientist is a stereotypical, archetypal scientist who is often a clich 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 collection we have gathered six remarkable stories by Andr Caroff, Georges Espitallier, Henri Falk, Arnould Galopin, Gustave Le Rouge and Jules Verne, published between 1874 and 1964, that encapsulate the basic archetypes of the mad scientist: he is obsessed with his research; he develops innovative technologies at the cutting edge of his era's knowledge, often out of sheer daring; he appears to be lacking in common sense; he likes to play God without realizing the consequences of his actions.Each of the authors featured in this volume were privileged witnesses to prodigious scientific advances that were at the root of profound social transformations. The fears aroused by some of these, particularly in biology and chemistry, combined with the stubborn positivism of seeing science as the ultimate solution to all ills, crystallized into the figure of the mad scientist. The rich tradition of the French roman scientifique provides a striking illustration of the archetype inspired by the myths of Prometheus and Faust.TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction by J.-M. & Randy LofficierJules Verne: Dr. Ox's Experiment Georges Espitallier: The Nickel Man Arnould Galopin: The Man With the Blue Face Gustave Le Rouge: The Sculptor of Human Flesh Henri Falk: The Master Of The Three States Andr Caroff: The Sinister Mme Atomos
