All in blood red and black. The illustrations are still magnificient and are the best part of the novel. The story is average for Blanchet who tried to achieve a balance between tragedy and fantasy and not really hitting it. The stage is set, it's baroque, the villain is bad to the bone, the innocents are vulnerable but the link between the plot point is to thin for the magic to work, for me anyway. I didn't care for Bologne, his daughter or the dreamy professor but I wanted too. Still gorgeous illustrations.
