In The Young Vampire (1920), a London girl is possessed by an extra-dimensional
entity which mutates her body and turns her into a living vampire. The
Supernatural Assassin (1923) tells the tale of a murderous wraith. Finally,
Companions of the Universe (1934) is Rosny's last, great novel, a brilliant
scientific romance in which a secret group of physicists attempts to
breach the limits of the universe beyond photons, sub-particles and
wave-sequences; while at the same time offering an in-depth study of
the perversity of human sexual relationships.
