Vincent O'Sullivan - Book of Bargains

This is a volume of short horror stories by American-born short story writer, poet and critic Vincent O'Sullivan. Sometimes considered the last of the decadents, O'Sullivan was a notable literary figure of his time, a friend of Oscar Wilde, and a favourite of many critics. The stories in the Book of Bargains are all of them notable horror stories, each involving a bargain with the devil — either explicitly or figuratively. — Summary by Carolin
