Les Diaboliques (book)
''Les Diaboliques'' (''The She-Devils'') is a collection of short stories written by Barbey d'Aurevilly and published in France in 1874. Each story features a woman who commits an act of violence, or revenge, or some other crime. It is considered d'Aurevilly's masterpiece.Robert Irwin. ''Barbey D'Aurevilly and the Satanism of Appearance'' in Les Diaboliques, 11-14. (Dedalus: Langford Lodge, St Judith's Lane Sawtry, Cambs, 1996).

Similarly, the acts committed by the characters in these stories are induced not only by their extreme passion but also by their boredom.
