Le gamin a Douve dans les veines.Cette phrase, prononcée par son père quand il n'était encore qu'un enfant, l'inspecteur Hugo Boloren ne l'a jamais oubliée. Alors quand il apprend qu'un meurtre a eu lieu à Douve, il y voit un signe. Son père est mort, l'Alzheimer a dilué les souvenirs de sa mère ; c'est sa dernière chance de comprendre en quoi ce village perdu au milieu d'une forêt de sapins lui coule dans les veines. Tout ce qu'il sait, c'est que son père, policier lui aussi, a été envoyé à Douve il y a quarante ans pour enquêter sur la fuite médiatisée d'un Islandais accusé de meurtre.

Depuis Douve, ça ne va pas fort du côté d'Hugo Boloren. Sans la petite bille qui fait « ding » pour lui dévoiler une piste, il erre dans le commissariat, limite neurasthénique, au grand dam de Lulu la nouvelle stagiaire. Même ses carrés de chocolat échouent à le remettre d'aplomb. Bref, il est temps de changer d'air. Ça tombe bien : le commissaire Grosset a obtenu pour la mère d'Hugo un rendez-vous dans la clinique lilloise d'un grand spécialiste de la maladie d'Alzheimer. Alors en voiture pour Lille !

Murder comes in two familiar forms. Whether as a crime of passion with high emotions or a cold dispassionate plot to take life in order to gain in some way, the act strikes us all as somehow inhuman. Beneath us as civilised beings. But however we cloak our animal instincts the need to remove a human being and gain relief from abuse or gain from money, the term is just the same – MURDER. Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, J M Barrie, W W Jacobs and many others bring their literary heft to bear in as calculating a way as any killer could.

En el París del siglo XV, con sus sombrías callejuelas pobladas por desheredados de la fortuna y espíritus atormentados, la gitana Esmeralda, que predice el porvenir y atrae fatalmente a los hombres, es acusada injustamente de la muerte de su amado y condenada al patíbulo. Agradecido por el apoyo que en otro tiempo recibió de ella, Quasimodo, campanero de Nuestra Señora, de fuerza hercúlea y cuya horrible fealdad esconde un corazón sensible, la salva y le da asilo en la catedral." Nuestra Señora de París" ha dado lugar a numerosos libretos de ópera y a varias versiones cinematográficas.

Fear affects us all in some way, shape or form. Whilst we would rather shy away from it in real life, when it comes to stories, we tend to move towards it. In this volume of short stories our malevolent authors, including the talents of H P Lovecraft, Edgar Alan Poe, Charles Dickens, M R James, Victor Hugo, E T A Hoffman and many, many others, seem to take great delight in assaulting our senses with heart stopping narratives designed to put the fear of God, the Devil and just about every other form of disturbed terror into our eager hearts and minds.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (originally titled Notre Dame de Paris) is a Gothic novel by Victor Hugo, published in 1831. It focuses on the unfortunate story of Quasimodo, the Gypsy street dancer Esmeralda and Quasimodo's guardian the Archdeacon Claude Frollo in 15th century Paris.

The novel made Notre Dame de Paris a national icon and served as a catalyst for renewed interest in the restoration of Gothic form.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is a French Gothic novel by Victor Hugo, published in 1831. It focuses on the unfortunate story of Quasimodo, the Romani street dancer Esmeralda and Quasimodo's guardian, the Archdeacon Claude Frollo in 15th-century Paris.

When Quasimodo appears before the masses as the "Pope of Fools," the crowd beholds an enormous cyclops-like creature—the hunchback's whole body seems a twisted grimace. Yet, with all his deformity, there is a certain grace and agility in him, and he possesses an endearing passion. When Esmerelda, the beautiful Romani woman, stands between his two executioners, Quasimodo makes the ultimate sacrifice.

Some people have basic needs of foods and materials that only theft can provide an answer for, and some others just pursue the taking of what they want, whenever they want and from whoever they want. These are their stories.

In the Gothic towers of the cathedral of Notre-Dame - which has been subjected to decades of degradation and neglect - lives its bell ringer, Quasimodo. Persecuted as wicked and pilloried for his broken appearance, he’s shown kindness only by the alluring Esmeralda, an outsider herself, who fills Quasimodo’s heart with a hope and devotion beyond reason. When she falls victim to the lies of the vengeful and lustful Archdeacon Claude Frollo, only Quasimodo can save her from the gallows. In sanctuary, looming high above Paris, their fates entwine.
