La peur

In this unsettling collection, an unnamed narrator offers a series of night‑marish vignettes to the memory of a vanished friend, Maurice Rollinat, whose own talent for evoking dread made him both idolized and misunderstood. The opening pages weave a lyrical homage that blurs the line between poet and performer, suggesting that each story will pulse with the same raw, trembling intensity that once flowed from Rollinat’s piano‑turned lyre. As the narrator recalls the way Rollinat’s fragile mask and electric gaze could turn simple verses into a palpable, almost tactile fear, listeners are invited to feel that same shiver reverberate through the forthcoming tales.

The stories that follow promise to explore the fragile edge between imagination and terror, each crafted to stir the listener’s own hidden anxieties. With a voice that alternates between tender remembrance and stark observation, the author sets a tone that feels both intimate and eerily universal. Expect a journey through shadows where ordinary settings become stages for psychological hauntings, echoing the poet’s own struggle between dream and dread.
