About the Book

Après les aventures décrites dans La Poupée sanglante, la peur s'abat à nouveau sur Paris. Alors que le relieur d'art Bénédict Masson a été guillotiné pour avoir tué de nombreuses femmes, les mystères continuent. Bénédict Masson avait toujours clamé son innocence, qu'en est-il maintenant après sa mort ? La Machine à assassiner est la suite directe de La Poupée sanglante de Gaston Leroux. On y retrouve le même mélange d'aventures, d'intrigue policière, de fantastique que dans la première partie. Et le tout écrit avec la même poésie noire. Un chef-d'oeuvre injustement oublié.
About the Author: Gaston Leroux est un romancier français, né le 6 mai 1868 à Paris (10e arr.) et mort le 15 avril 1927 à Nice (Alpes-Maritimes). Il est surtout connu pour ses romans policiers empreints de fantastique. Gaston-Alfred-Louis Leroux grandit en Normandie et suit sa scolarité au collège d'Eu. Après avoir obtenu le baccalauréat de lettres au lycée de Caen, il s'installe à Paris en octobre 1886 et s'inscrit à la faculté de droit. Il devient avocat en 1890 et exerce cette profession jusqu'en 1893. Pour arrondir ses fins de mois, il écrit des comptes rendus de procès pour le journal L'Écho de Paris. Sa relation du procès d'Auguste Vaillant, auteur de l'attentat de la chambre des députés, tombe sous les yeux de Maurice Bunau-Varilla, directeur du journal Le Matin, qui propose à Leroux de devenir le chroniqueur judiciaire de ce quotidien, à l'époque le plus important de Paris. Leroux a ainsi l'occasion de suivre le procès de personnages qui auraient pu figurer dans ses romans, en particulier les anarchistes poseurs de bombes. À partir de 1901, devenu grand reporter, il effectue de nombreux voyages en France et à l'étranger, notamment en Espagne et au Maroc. Au Matin, il fait paraître en 1903 un feuilleton, Le Chercheur de trésors, qui paraît l'année suivante sous le titre La Double Vie de Théophraste Longuet. De juin 1904 à mars 1906, il est l'envoyé spécial permanent du Matin en Russie et assiste, à ce titre, aux sanglantes prémices de l'écroulement de l'empire des tsars. Son roman Le Mystère de la chambre jaune, chef-d'oeuvre d'ingéniosité qui inspirera les surréalistes, lui vaut le succès en 1908. Il continue à écrire des romans dans la même veine, Le Fantôme de l'Opéra en 1910, La Poupée sanglante en 1923 et la série des Chéri-Bibi à partir de 1913. Son dernier roman, Mister Flow, paraît en 1927. Son personnage Joseph Rouletabille, jeune apprenti reporter à l'intelligence déductive hors du commun, qui apparaît pour la première fois dans Le Mystère de la chambre jaune, devient le héros d'autres romans tels que Le Parfum de la dame en noir, Rouletabille chez le Tsar et Le Crime de Rouletabille.
