His tales draw energy and charm from the earnest esotericism of their central motifs, and poignantly exploit the author's fascination with death. Filled with the ironic spirit of the contes cruels, which dominated upmarket short fiction during the fin-de-si cle, they are visionary fantasies with a peculiar obliquity that is the hallmark of his work. Michelet took his fantasy and symbolism seriously, especially when their extrapolation led him by convoluted paths to the strange conclusions displayed in this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47247451193593,"sku":"9781612277950","price":30.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/WDlsSWQ2akVNeUNNT0pUMGNOYldmZz09_2b78f4f7-647e-43a7-b2eb-dbc3bc20209b.webp?v=1768626452","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/superhuman-tales-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
