The Damned (La-bas) - Paperback

by Keen Wallace (Translator), Joris-Karl Huysmans (Author)

At the novel's center is Durtal, a writer obsessed with the life of one of the blackest figures in history, Gilles de Rais -- child murderer, sadist, necrophile, and practitioner of all the black arts. The book's authentic, extraordinarily detailed descriptions of the Black Mass have never been surpassed.
