A review by theartolater
The King in the Golden Mask by Marcel Schwob

4.0

A collection of older weird short stories translated from French, they’re impressive in how modern they feel in spite of their age. The most interesting thing to me was how abrupt the stories ended in this one – where I’m used to a more drawn-out narrative, many of these simply come to a logical conclusion and we move on. It was a nice addition to already-unsettling stories.

This is worth a look, especially if you’re as interested in the evolution of the weird branch of horror fiction as I am.
