Armand Charpentier (1864-1949), though all but forgotten today, was one of a number of journalists who, around the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, contributed Decadent and Naturalist fiction to the French press. The present volume brings together four pieces of such fiction, all translated into English for the first time by Shawn Garrett. From the psychological horror story "Claustrophobic Madness" to the humorous "The Adventure de Jacques Pétromé, " this offering, which sheds new light on a forgotten fin-de-siècle personality, is an important addition to all libraries of Decadence and French literature.
