The Doctored Man

Maurice Renard, recognized as a leading French science fiction writer of the early 20th century, introduced the genre of "Scientific Marvel Fiction." His innovative stories blend elements of Edgar Allan Poe's suspense with H.-G. Wells' imaginative narratives. While primarily known in English-speaking circles for his thriller "The Hands of Orlac," Renard's work encompasses a broader range of gripping tales that push the boundaries of the genre.
