Les Diaboliques by Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly
5.0
A collection of tales about women in nineteenth century France who aren't saints, and who therefore must be...les diaboliques!
This felt like the prose version of a series of Baudelaire poems. Longer, more complex in tone, but the same sensibility. I really liked them and can't give an objective review. I was expecting the stories to be sexist, but they were more sardonic than anything else.
If Baudelaire is your jam, give these a try.
