Z, the terminal letter : [short stories]

Partly gothic horror stories, partly allegorical fairy tales, the stories that form Z create a world of their own - a microcosm with a limited number of characters, who move from one story to another, tossed about in non-linear time and labyrinthine space, losing their place in the spotlight to new and bolder protagonists. Deploying the familiar paraphernalia of Gothic Romance, seasoning it with black humour and biting sarcasm, these stories are the legitimate furniture of a well-established literary genre, with the author paying homage to that tradition. Be it the man who can make things disappear alphabetically, the girl who ousts her husband in order to be alone with her imaginary lover, or the cat who plots to become the master's mistress - you are sure to make many friends in the world of Z.
