Thirty Hours with a Corpse

Thirty Hours with a Corpse
By:Maurice Level
Published on 2016-03-15 by Courier Dover Publications

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 Théâtre 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.
