Le jardin des supplices - Octave Mirbeau
The Torture Garden is a novel written by the French journalist, novelist and playwright Octave Mirbeau and was first published in 1899, during the Dreyfus Affair. The novel is ironically dedicated: "To the priests, the soldiers, the judges, to those people who educate, instruct and govern men, I dedicate these pages of Murder and Blood." This edition is from 1935 by Les Editions Nationales and is illustrated by Edy Legrand. Pierre Chaine and André de Lorde made an adaptation for the Grand-Guignol in 1922. Also, many thx to Will, who sent this 1955 paperback cover from Berkley Books!

Grand Guignol
Some stuff Grand Guignol related. I always dreamed to go in, through the famous doors, and assist to "Le Système du docteur Goudron et du professeur Plume" (from Edgar Poe's drama)! But the "première" was in 1903!
