The new volume of the collected works of the Belgian classic of science fiction, detective and horror Jean Ray - rightly called the “European Edgar Poe” - includes his entire collections of stories “Tales Inspired by Whiskey”, “Black Tales of Golf” and the novel “The City” great fear." The first of these collections was never published in Russian; the rest were published fragmentarily and for a very long time. Jean Ray (pseudonym of Raymond Jean Marie de Cremer) is known not only as a prolific virtuoso of his genre, but also as a great mystifier who wrote in two languages, French and Flemish, also under many pseudonyms (Harry Dixon, John Flanders, etc.); much of his legacy remains unpublished or undiscovered. With this book, the Prestige Book publishing house continues to acquaint Russian readers with the work of this, without exaggeration, great writer.
