The first story in this book is a never before seen ghost story written by the poet Charles Baudelaire and written for an illiterate girl. It is followed by a noir romance that revolves around a man who has been exiled. It is modeled on a man named Walter Benjamin, who has nightmares all the time but finds that they are cured upon falling in love with a storyteller who pulls him into a world of police corruption, rare manuscripts, and literary societies.

Lastly, there are the memoirs of a woman who has turned into a monarch whose life has gone through seven different generations.
