In the third and final volume in his series of story collections inspired by cities in which he has lived – Paris Fantastique follows London Gothic and Manchester Uncanny – Nicholas Royle searches for signs that the fantastique, which flourished in the nineteenth century, is still alive in the twenty-first.
 
Fourteen stories, including eleven that are brand new, demonstrate the startling originality of Royle’s ideas and his willingness to experiment with form. He explores the magnetic attraction of the streets, parks, cafés, apartments, railway tunnels and covered passages of Paris, his characters often drawn there and unable to leave – or forever returning​.
 
Whether you're a devoted follower of Nicholas Royle or discovering his work for the first time, this collection is sure to enchant, unsettle, and linger long after the final page.
