About the book: 2018 / In 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", - in full included his collections of short stories, Whiskey Tales, Black Tales of Golf, and the novel City of 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French and Flemish, also under many pseudonyms (Harry Dixon, John Flanders, etc.); much of his legacy remains unpublished or undiscovered.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.
