Perhaps the achievement of which we are the proudest is the publication of a series of masterful translations by Brian Stableford of the works of the great French popular writer (arguably rivaling Alexandre Dumas): Paul Féval.
Paul Féval (1816-1887) was the author of popular swashbucklers, such as Le Loup Blanc (1843) (the first novel ever to introduce the notion of secret identity ad masked crime-fighters) and the perennial best seller Le Bossu (1857).
Féval also penned the seminal Knightshade, The Vampire Countess and Vampire City, the latter a post-modernist vampire story.
But Féval's greatest claim to fame was as the father of the modern crime thriller. Because of its themes and characters, his novel John Devil (1862) can claim to be the world's first modern detective novel. His masterpiece was The Black Coats (1863-75), a criminal saga written over a twelve year period comprised of seven novels.
Available from Black Coat Press:
The Black Coats: 'Salem Street (2005),
The Black Coats: The Invisible Weapon (2006),
The Black Coats: The Parisian Jungle (forthcoming in 2007),
John Devil (2005),
Knightshade (2003),
Revenants (2006),
Vampire City (2003),
The Vampire Countess (2003),
The Wandering Jew's Daughter (2005),
stage plays: Gentlemen of the Night & Captain Phantom (2007)
Also forthcoming: Anne of the Isles (gothic/fantasy tales from Britanny) |

Who's Jean de la Hire ? |
The greatest writer of french literature.
Compared to his hero Le Nyctalope, Doc Savage is a Teddy Bear. |
