For once, those are not scholarly papers, but a series of seven "cartes blanches" the literary news website ActuaLitté has granted me on the occasion of the soon-to-come publication (on 16 October 2026) of my novel Grand-Guignol.

That about horror, entitled "L'horreur est le meilleur genre de l'histoire de la fiction" can be read here.

That about music, entitled "L’écoute de cette sélection de chansons a joué un rôle crucial d’inspiration" can be read here.

That about my scholarly research on fantasy et pop culture, entitled "Quand je n'écris pas mes histoires, j'écris sur celles des autres" can be read here.

That about how my novel and my work relate to the historical narrative genre, (oddly) titled "Un roman policier puis, plus logiquement, un roman d'horreur" can be read here.

That about tea, entitled "C'est là que j'ai rencontré mes principaux dealers: Bacquié et le Palais des Thés" can be read here.

That about professional camaraderie and friendships based on shared passions, entitled "Et si le secret d'un bon roman d'horreur était avant tout l'amitié?", can be read here.
