Description
Nightmares of an Ether-Drinker by Jean Lorrain is a collection of dark and decadent tales that owe their feverish atmosphere to the author's own experiences with ether. Originally published in 1895, these stories were later translated into English for the first time, bringing them to a new audience. The translator, Brian Stableford, provides an authoritative introduction to Lorrain's life and work, revealing him as a master of the Decadent style and world-view. The resulting tales are a testament to the enduring power of this literary movement, with its emphasis on the absurd, the affectation, and the perversity. These beautifully translated stories offer a unique glimpse into the darker corners of human experience, where the boundaries between reality and nightmare are blurred.
