Nightcharmer and Other Tales of Claude Seignolle And Other Tales

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.Seignolle, Claude is the author of 'Nightcharmer and Other Tales of Claude Seignolle And Other Tales' with ISBN 9781585440351 and ISBN 1585440353.
