“Horror at Fontenay” by Alexandre Dumas

This is an entertaining collection of loosely linked horror stories. It’s part of “The Dennis Wheatle library of the Occult” and the book required editing by the translator.....It seems that Dumas threw these stories together as a money-making venture, so that the original versions are quite sloppy. The main thread of the book is a chopped off head which retained consciousness long enough to address her murderer. Dumas is quite an entertaining writer.
