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

Vincent O'Sullivan was a celebrated writer of decadent and morbid fiction of his time, a notable contemporary of Oscar Wilde. While O'Sullivan is perhaps most well-known for his supernatural tales of horror, here represented by the novella "Vershoyle's House", this collection of stories shows us all facets of O'Sullivan's personality in his inimitable demi-monde style.
