Mysteryville

The narrative follows explorer Alcide Trémalet, who discovers a hidden futuristic city, "Mysteryville," established by French Protestants in the 18th century. This city excels in sound and light technology but faces internal conflict between factions desiring to engage with the outside world and those advocating for isolation. The book showcases Lermina's imaginative storytelling, alongside his eerie short story "Twice Dead," enriching the overall experience with themes of exploration, conflict, and the clash of cultures.
