Fantômas

The fourth book in the classic series featuring the Parisian master criminal! This novel was originally published in France in 1911, then translated and published in the US in 1917. It has remained out of print since then and copies of the original publication sell for hundreds of dollars. This book can occasionally be found as an online text, but be warned - those versions are missing the books ending. This is currently the only complete and unabridged version of A NEST OF SPIES available. This edition also contains a brief introduction and several rare images that trace Fantomas' influence on American popular culture.

Exploits of Juve Fantomas #2

“One episode simply melts away as the next takes over” (The New York Times) in this deliciously sinister turn-of-the-century tale of a French evil genius run rampant. Three appalling crimes leave all of Paris aghast: the Marquise de Langruen is hacked to death, the Princess Sonia is robbed, and Lord Beltham is found dead, stuffed into a trunk. Inspector Juve knows that all the clues point to one suspect: the master of disguise, Fantômas. Juve cleverly pursues him in speeding trains, down dark alleys, through glittering Parisian salons, obsessed with bringing the demon mastermind to justice. As thrilling to read now as it was when first published in 1915, Fantômas “is not a puzzle but an intoxicant” (The Village Voice).

The first room you entered was divided in two by a partition pierced by wicket-windows, the lower portion being solid, the upper consisting of a lattice-work of stout bars. Behind could be seen rows and rows of deed-boxes and bundles of papers ranged on big shelves. In this room M. Moche generally sat, and whenever the outer door opened he would follow suit by throwing open a little window and popping out his head to take stock of the visitor....FROM THE BOOKS.

The long arm of Fantômas

"Years after his first appearance, Fantômas is still scary." — The Washington Post "A brilliant criminal … a great romp." — San Francisco Chronicle A noblewoman is hacked to death in her chateau, a Russian princess is boldly robbed in a posh hotel, and a lord's lifeless body is found stuffed inside a trunk. Everyone recognizes the deeds of Fantômas, a master of disguise whose daring and diabolical crimes paralyze Parisians with terror. One man has sworn to bring the phantom killer to justice: Inspector Juve, who ventures from dark alleys to brilliant salons in his relentless pursuit of the evil genius. The first in a series of wildly popular French thrillers, Fantômas created a sensation in pre-WWI Europe. The original pulp fiction, its appeal transcended every level of society. Cocteau, Colette, and Picasso were avid readers, and subsequent generations of artists, writers, and musicians have drawn inspiration from this enduringly stylish and suspenseful novel.

Messengers of Evil

The daring exploits of Fant�mas in his attempts to get possession of the King of Hesse-Weimar's famous diamond.Marcel Allain (1885-1970) was a French writer mostly remembered today for his co-creation with Pierre Souvestre of the fictional arch-villain and master criminal Fant�mas. The son of a Parisian bourgeois family, Allain studied law before becoming a journalist. He then became the assistant of Souvestre, who was already a well-known figure in literary circles. In 1909, the two men published their first novel, Le Rour. Investigating Magistrate Germain Fuselier, later to become a recurring character in the Fant�mas series, appears in the novel. Then, in February 1911, Allain and Souvestre embarked upon the Fant�mas book series at the request of publisher Arth�me Fayard, who wanted to create a new monthly pulp magazine. The success was immediate and lasting. After Souvestre's death in February 1914, Allain continued the Fant�mas saga alone, then launched several other series, such as Tigris, Fatala, Miss T�ria and F�rocias, but none garnered the same popularity as Fant�mas. In 1926, Allain married Souvestre's girl-friend, Henriette Kistler. In total, Allain wrote more than 400 novels in his prolific career.
