===Collections of short-stories=== * ''Number 56 and Other Stories'' (1895), which contains the novellas ''Number 56'', ''A Wayside Village'', ''The Cough'', and his infamous ''Luscignole'', a grotesque thriller concerning a sadistic dwarf and his young hostage. ''Number 56'' is a thought-provoking detective tale based on a real life murder case, while the remaining stories are dark fantasies, nightmarish and hallucinatory, told in the fashion of [[Edgar Allan Poe]] of whom Mendès was greatly enamored. To this day, ''Luscignole'' is considered Mendès' finest, most original work of fiction. ''First English translation 1928''. *''The Fairy Spinning Wheel and the Tales it Spun'' (1899), a collection of fairy-tales rewritten in Mendès' own style.
