These tales of supernatural terror by French author Guy de Maupassant (1850–1893), master of the short story, were selected and translated by Arnold Kellett, and published by Pan Books in 1972. The cover art is by Josh Kirby, depicting the protagonist of the first story, La Main d’écorché (The Hand). The suffocatingly narrow typeface to go with it is Rubens. Its diagonal terminals nicely echo the fingernails.
