About the Author:
'Unique historical fiction. Hilariously funny, gruesome, macabre, and graphic, it is a worthy witness to great French modern literature' - Words and Peace
'He puts words into the mouths of his characters so believably it makes them brim with life. His penchant for the grotesque and macabre is well known but he does what he does so well with a lightness of touch and a sense of humour.' - Bookgroup.info
Jean Teulé lives in the Marais with his partner, the French film actress Miou-Miou. An illustrator, filmmaker and television presenter, he is also the prize-winning author of more than ten books including one based on the life of Verlaine. He has also written biographies of Rimbaud and François Villon. Gallic Books has published three of Teulé’s novels: the black comedy The Suicide Shop and two novels based around true historical events: the terrifying Eat Him If You Like and bawdy tragi-comedy of betrayal at Versailles, The Hurlyburly's Husband.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Based on the story of real-life poisoner Helene Jegado, one of the most notorious serial killers of all time. Schooled in the ancient beliefs of the Breton people by her mother, the beautiful Helene grows up feeling detached from the nineteenth century world around her and yet destined for a terrible vocation: to do the work of l'Ankou, death's henchman. Beginning with the demise of her very own maman, she leaves a trail of devastation with the special soups and cakes she makes those who taste them never recover. Jean Teule brings his unique blend of imagination and historical insight to a novel that is both a vivid portrait of nineteenth-century provincial French life and a startling chronicle of a decades-long killing spree. AUTHOR: Jean Teule lives in the Marais with the actress Miou-Miou. An illustrator, filmmaker and television presenter, he is also a prize-winning author. Jean Teule brings his unique blend of imagination and historical insight to the startling tale of history's most notorious female poisoner and her decades-long killing spree.
