Cinq nouvelles extraordinaires

Gustave Le Rouge

This collection brings together five fantastic tales by Gustave Le Rouge, blending social satire, nightmare, and early science fiction. A man discovers that the stranger he watches is his own reflection; a dictator meets the guillotine in human form; a poet warns the rich about the “Red Specter”; two lighthouse keepers pursue Caesar’s ship; and an explorer recounts his ordeal inside the idol of Huitzilopochtli.
