In the heart of Boris Yvain's mysterious studio, a haunting tale unfolds, blurring the line between life and art. Boris discovers a secret that allows him to transform living beings into marble, capturing them in eternal form beyond the reach of any sculptor. But the cost of this power is steep—when Geneviève, beautiful and changeable as an April day, becomes ensnared in feverish obsession, their fates intertwine in a tragic web of love and betrayal. The Mask by Robert W. Chambers is a story of art, madness, and the perilous secrets concealed behind marble facades.
