I don't heard about a refutation of the storie of Gilles de
Rais. He was execed for the murders he comitted and the
historians said there were a lot of children bodies and
torture instruments in his castle.
"Concerto pour l'鴲angleur" that I've transated by
"Concerto for a strangler" is Woolrich novel. It's about a
man who kills his victims by strangulation. One chapter for
one murder till the end where the reader discovers who is
that myterious strangler.

Haven't
the stories about Gilles de Rais been refuted by recent
historians? I remember reading that it's been said that the
stories were invented because some people wanted him to look
bad. (And he certainly did, didn't he?)
Robert Bloch is a noir writer, in my mind, and he even makes
fun of the shadowy effects of many noir films in THE SCARF,
which some think is better than PSYCHO. Bloch wrote about Ed
Gein in an intro in a book whose title I forget, but it was
reprinted in MURDER PLUS, a late eighties anthology of true
crime writing.
I think Fabianne means CONCERTO FOR A DEAD BEAT. That's also
a noirish crime novel, albeit not one of Bloch's best.
