Great news, given how the older translations of his short stories are mostly locked inside a trio of out of print, now extremely pricey collections.
Tho, I must say that I'm not too enamoured of his early stories, based of what I've read of them in the past.
Recently, I've finally got my hands on My Own Private Spectres. His style and vision seem to have coalesced after his stay in prison, and the aforementioned collection largely consists of his fiction produced from that period onwards. Much more to my liking, and quite a bit closer to the genius of Malpertuis.
