The malevolent May cat... A beast with seven spare lives and seven temporary deaths... Even a dead Matagot is not completely dead. Anyone who has Matagot can die in peace, knowing that Matagot continues to serve him faithfully.

Claude Seignolle's gothic story about Matagot, a sorcerer cat from French folklore (an obvious prototype of Puss in Boots).… The interweaving of mysticism and reality, details of everyday peasant life and magical transformations, sublime love and devilish hatred - this terrible, bizarre fantasy world of Claude Seignol will certainly attract the attention of readers and make them read the book in one breath.
