Angels Of Perversity, The

The stories in The Angels of Perversity are key examples of early Symbolist prose shaped and inspired by the French Decadent consciousness and must rank among the best short stories of the 1890s.The tone of the stories is unique, with an unusual mixture of decadence and eroticism, balanced by an ironic and sentimental view of the world.

"The stories themselves are tremulous, incense-ridden affairs in which enervated decadents slake their lust."
Mike Petty in The Literary Review
