Now We Cast Shadows In Hell. a gothic horror novella - Richard Gadz

"...I should never have gone to Paris in the Summer of 1924. At that time, it was a frantic celebration of everything radical, a maelstrom of fresh thoughts, words, art, music. Les années folles, they called it, the crazy years. The wild years. For a time, Paris was the centre of the world. I was drawn to it like a mouse to a baited trap. I wanted to find some reason to keep on existing in the face of everything I’d endured and lost, just like so many thousands of others. Instead, I found a terror which has never left me..."

A British veteran of World War I, scarred in body and mind, dives headlong into the cultural whirlwind of Paris in the 1920s, seeking escape from the personal and wartime memories which haunt him. The eerie Countess Khalinska and her horrific Spectacle Maléfique promise him a fresh start, if he will descend into Hell itself and ask for it from the Devil in person...

A chilling, atmospheric horror novella with a nerve-shattering ending, from the multi-award-winning author of the Gothics Undead trilogy and The Burn Street Haunting.
