Het huwelijk van juffrouw Bonvoisin en andere Gentse verhalen van Jean Ray,
Met Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft en Ray Bradbury geldt de Belg Jean Ray wereldwijd als een van de toonaangevende auteurs van fantastische verhalen en horror. Hij schreef honderden korte verhalen, die het midden houden tussen gothic en magisch realistisch. Zijn roman Malpertuis werd in 1972 ver£lmd door Harry Kümel, met Orson Welles in de hoofdrol. Een leven lang vertelde Jean Ray bloedstollende verhalen over de vele reizen die hij zou hebben gemaakt; in werkelijkheid bracht hij de meeste van zijn dagen in zijn thuisstad Gent door. Meestal aan zijn schrijfmachine. Schrijver, chansonnier en Gentenaar Lieven Tavernier heeft een levenslange passie voor het werk van Jean Ray, en ging voor dit boek op zoek naar de band van de schrijver met zijn stad. Daarnaast dook hij in het oeuvre van de productieve auteur en selecteerde en vertaalde tien verhalen waarin Gent een rol speelt.

The Last Canterbury Tales
Drawing on British Gothic fiction, German Romanticism and Dickensian humor, Jean Ray's tales mix Catholic mythology with cosmic horror After 600 years, Geoffrey Chaucer and his 14th-century pilgrims overcome space and time to return to the Tabard Inn in Southwark, freshly cleansed of their sins. This time it is a new cast of storytellers picking up where the others had left off—a motley crew that includes a Prioress with a taste for executions and a madman who once made the mistake of asking after the Uhu. Also among them is a new listener: Tobias Weep, secretary of the Upper Thames Book Club, who has stumbled onto their impossible gathering, pinned to his chair by the impossible weight of E.T.A. Hoffmann's talking tomcat on his lap. Jean Ray's The Last Canterbury Tales, first published in French in 1944, makes no pretense of finishing Chaucer's masterpiece but instead works toward a denouement of its own that reveals an unexpected act of storytelling underpinning this collection. Jean Ray (1887–1964) is the best known of the multiple pseudonyms of Raymundus Joannes Maria de Kremer. A pivotal figure in the "Belgian School of the Strange," he authored some 6,500 texts in his lifetime, along with his own biography, which remains shrouded in legend and fiction.

I racconti del whisky
Il whisky è la bevanda per eccellenza al bar di Jean Ray, lo sanno bene i protagonisti di questa raccolta di racconti scritti con 'lacrime, sangue e zolfo'. E whisky, appunto, che sa essere il veicolo migliore per mettere in dubbio le leggi della realtà, l'amico e confidente a cui accompagnarsi per narrare le storie più nere, macabre, diaboliche e grottesche. Qui Ray mette in scena un'umanità della più varia, immancabilmente alle prese con il soprannaturale, con l'irrazionale, con la tentazione e con il crimine. Con l'orrore che emerge all'improvviso, inspiegabile, nella vita di tutti i giorni.

Cruise of Shadows
Haunted Stories of Land and SeaFootsteps in an abandoned holiday resort as the cold weather settles in; a knock on the door of a hut in the middle of an isolated bog; a lane in Rotterdam perceptible to only one inhabitant in the city. In Cruise of Shadows, Jean Ray began to fully explore the trappings of the ghost story to produce a new brand of horror tale: one that described the lineaments of a universe adjacent to this one, in which objects sweat hatred and fear, and where the individual must face the unknown in utter isolation. First published in 1931, two years after he served his prison sentence for embezzling funds for his literary magazine, Ray's second story collection failed to find the success of his first one, Whiskey Tales, but has emerged over the years as a key publication in the Belgian School of the Strange. It has remained unavailable in its integral form even in French until recently, however, though it contains some of Ray's most anthologized and celebrated stories, including two of his best known, The Mainz Psalter and The Shadowy Alley. This is the book's first English translation, and the second of the volumes of Ray's books to be published by Wakefield Press.Alternately referred to as the Belgian Poe and the Flemish Jack London, Jean Ray (1887 1964) delivered tales of horror under the stylistic influence of his most cherished authors, Charles Dickens and Gregory Chaucer. A pivotal figure in what has come to be known as the Belgian School of the Strange, Ray authored some 6,500 texts in his lifetime.
