Classic Strange French Fantasy/Horror

[MilesofBooks]

I'd like information on the authors Maurice Renard, who wrote "Hands of Orlac" and "New Bodies for Old", Paul Féval who wrote "The Black Coats" and "John Devil", and Marcel Maurice and Pierre, who wrote "Arsole Fantüme, Gentleman Immoralist". Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can find out more about these people, and where I might be able to find their books in print (in English)?

Thanks!

Maurice Renard is covered (briefly) in Joshi, et al.'s Supernatural Literature of the World: An Encyclopedia, vol. 3, pp. 938-39); Paul Feval is covered in vol. 1, p. 415; but I don't know of anything on the last, except that you can find the book mentioned here:

Amazon.com: Arsole Fantüme, Gentleman Immoralist (9781448659388): Marcel Maurice, Pierre, Ricky Sprague: Books

John Devil here:

Amazon.com: John Devil (9781932983159): Paul Feval, Brian Stableford: Books

The Black Coats here:

Amazon.com: The Black Coats: 'Salem Street (9781932983463): Paul Feval, Brian Stableford: Books

and so on....

If you click on Feval's name, for instance, you'll find others in both the original and English translations....
