The Invisible Eye by Emile Erckmann
A collection of the finest supernatural tales by two of the best Victorian writers of weird tales ErckmannChatrian, authors who inspired M. R. James, H. P. Lovecraft, and many others.
‘I should feel myself ungrateful if I did not pay a tribute to the supernatural tales of Erckmann–ChatrianThe blend of French with German in them, comparable to the French-Irish blend in Le Fanu, has produced some quite first-rate romances of this kind . . . [and] have for years delighted and alarmed me. It is high time that they were made more accessible than they are.’
M. R. JAMES
‘A tremendous collection of uncanny tales somewhere between E.T.A. Hoffmann and Borges, they are ingenious and very subtle explorations, a revelation.’
DAVID ANNWN JONES, author of Gothic Effigy
