The latter is my category: forgotten classics translated by me. The magazine title of <em>Danse Macabre<\/em> is deceptive, for not every story is dark. I encourage you to take a look at the web site, interesting on its own with its old graphic art and illustrations from the 19th century (and background music if you wish), and read a few of the quality pieces published in its latest issues.<\/p>\n<p>Every story in this issue 148 is accompanied by art by Paul Klee.
