About This Book

Un recueil de nouvelles qui transpose la veine des contes merveilleux dans des décors européens, mêlant intrigues policières, aventures urbaines et épisodes fantastiques. Les récits associent suspense et ironie: rencontres étranges, sociétés secrètes engagées dans des jeux mortels, enquêtes et duels, et péripéties impliquant personnages déguisés et voyages imprévus. L'ensemble privilégie la concision, l'humour noir et une prose vive, tout en explorant la peur, la morale et la justice à travers situations imprévues et retournements dramatiques.
