Un manuscrito robado de un monasterio y una vieja mansión de piedra de una dinastía de comerciantes marítimos, posiblemente maldita, son los ingredientes de esta novela gótica. En la mansión de Malpertuis, algo extraño y desconcertante ocurre cuando los parientes se reúnen para la muerte del Tío Casseve. Jean Ray, influenciado por Howard Phillips Lovecraft, crea una historia de gran intensidad en un contexto católico sofocante, donde sucesos de ferocidad irrumpen en la trama, manteniendo el suspense hasta el desenlace apocalíptico.
Jean Ray is the best-known pseudonym among the many used by Raymundus Joannes de Kremer, a prolific Belgian (Flemish) writer. Although he wrote journalism, stories for young readers in Dutch by the name John Flanders, and scenarios for comic strips and detective stories, he is best known for his tales of the fantastique written in French under the name Jean Ray. Among speakers of English, he is famous for his macabre novel Malpertuis (1943), which was filmed by Harry Kümel in 1971. He also used the pseudonyms John Flanders, King Ray, Alix R. Bantam and Sailor John, among others.
