19th century writers Erckmann and Chatrian were fairly popular in their day. They wrote more than just supernatural fiction. These would nearly all be classed as supernatural stories, but not ghost stories. Most read like legends or sagas that are set mostly in the 17th or 16th century, almost like archetype "Club Tales" at times.

I had to slog though this since the middle tales tended to be quite similar in style, plotting, and structure. The early tales were great and there is a long werewolf tale to cap the collection off that is outstanding.

Ash-Tree Press has almost made a business out of reissuing these rare collections. The last printed limited edition of 2,000 copies before Ash-Tree's from the 1980s, was completely lost in a series of business failures. They were presumably purloined but very few show up in the rare book market.

Se trata de una novela costumbrista con toques de humor, que se desarrolla en un ambiente de sosiego y prosperidad ambientado en la paz que se dio en Europa entre el Congreso de Viena (1815) hasta la guerra franco-prusiana (1870). Fritz es un alsaciano joven, que vive de las rentas y procura vivir bien y sin preocupaciones, partidario acérrimo de la soltería hasta que se encuentra con Suzel, la joven hija de los granjeros que explotan su finca.

Destaca el tratamiento de la sociedad multirreligiosa. Fritz Kobus es un judío asimilado que no observa las tradiciones de su pueblo, y David Sichel es un bondadoso rabino. Hay de fondo una critica a los anabaptistas y a los católicos, frente a la apología que se hace de la sociedad protestante.

Los autores hacen una hermosa descripción del paisaje, los campos y las tareas agrícolas, Es una obra fácil de leer, que por la ingenuidad de su contenido se considera adecuada para un público juvenil, con la salvedad hecha sobre el tratamiento que hace de los católicos.

I learned of this from M.R. James' essay "Some Remarks on Ghost Stories," in which he writes favorably of the stories of Erckmann-Chatrian. I couldn't pass up the chance to try some of them out, and found them worth a read, if not rising to the level of James' stories in creepiness or quality of the writing. He absolutely must have hated "The Spider of Guyana," though! The title story, "The Man-Wolf," was the one I most enjoyed: good, classic, gothic suspense.
