Description:

With its six trenchant tales of perverse love,
this masterpiece of French decadent fiction returns Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly's
signature collection to its rightful place in the ranks of literary fiction.
The stories of Diaboliques combine horror, comedy, and irony to explore
the foibles of men and women whose aristocratic world offers neither comfort
nor protection from romantic failure or sexual outrage.
