Three novellas create three distinct imaginative worlds, each one serving as a fantastic mirror to the real worldIn "The little kingdom of J. Franklin Payne," a gentle eccentric constructs an elaborate alternate universe that is all the more appealing for being transparently unreal"The princess, the dwarf, and the dungeon" is at once a gothic tale of nightmarish jealousy and a meditation on the human need for exaltation and horror"Catalogue of the exhibition" introduces us to the oeuvre of Edmund Moorash, a Romantic painter who might have been imagined by Nabokov or Poe
