Oscar Metenier resigned from the French police force in 1889 to pursue being a playwright. He would often use his real-life experiences while on the force to create popular mystery novels and plays. L'Infamie shocked the masses with its gruesome depiction of murder, and would ultimately go on to inspire the earliest forms of horror movies.
