These eight tales of mystery and the supernatural feature
sorcerers, the Grim Reaper in a horse-drawn coach, a beguiling bird
of death, a long-dead saint turned devil, and a whole retinue of
creatures of the night. Claude Seignolle, distinguished French
ethnographer and folklorist and author of more than twenty-three
volumes of short stories and novels, is a master of the "rustic"
tale, which depicts folklore and popular traditions of the French
countryside. He incarnates Satan as an entity sharing human traits,
an evil spirit who identifies himself with human suffering.
Seignolle's Gothic stories are not meant merely to terrorize,
however; they are intended to revive an oral tradition in danger of
becoming extinct.
