Description: « Nous nous réfugions dans des terreurs pour de faux afin d’éviter que les vraies nous terrassent, nous gèlent sur place et nous empêchent de mener notre vie quotidienne. » Stephen King Depuis Carrie jusqu’à Sleeping beauties, Stephen King, l’écrivain à l’imagination débordante et à l’inégalable talent de conteur, a redéfini le genre de l’épouvante et du fantastique. Qui mieux que lui pouvait disséquer la structure, les origines, les influences de ce phénomène qui constitue la matière première de son œuvre ? Sur le ton d’une conversation effroyablement drôle et enrichissante, Stephen King nous révèle son monde secret - son enfance, ses premières terreurs, ses idoles... - et dessine les grandes lignes d’un univers fascinant qui fait partie de notre patrimoine, du Projet Blair Witch à L’Exorciste en passant les romans de Ray Bradbury ou de J.G. Ballard. Un essai culte, couronné par le prix Hugo, le prix Locus et le grand prix de l’Imaginaire, dans une nouvelle édition revue et enrichie de deux préfaces inédites de Stephen King.

Description: This book begins with the assumption that the presence of non-human creatures causes an always-already uncanny rift in human assumptions about reality. Exploring the dark side of animal nature and the ‘otherness’ of animals as viewed by humans, and employing cutting-edge theory on non-human animals, eco-criticism, literary and cultural theory, this book takes the Gothic genre into new territory. After the dissemination of Darwin’s theories of evolution, nineteenth-century fiction quickly picked up on the idea of the ‘animal within’. Here, the fear explored was of an unruly, defiant, degenerate and entirely amoral animality lying (mostly) dormant within all of us. However, non-humans and humans have other sorts of encounters, too, and even before Darwin, humans have often had an uneasy relationship with animals, which, as Donna Haraway puts it, have a way of ‘looking back’ at us. In this book, the focus is not on the ‘animal within’ but rather on the animal ‘with-out’: other and entirely incomprehensible.

Description: Le nouveau fantastique de Jean-Pierre Andrevon analyse les facettes étranges du fantastique de Jean-Pierre Andrevon, écrivain contemporain appelé le « King » ou « Lovecraft » français. Andrevon propose une nouvelle vision du fantastique ancré profondément dans le quotidien contemporain, en apparence monotone et banal, dans lequel évoluent aussi bien ses personnages que ses lecteurs. L’auteur révèle ainsi le revers angoissant du monde, qui devient une source d’horreur puissante car familière au lecteur : catastrophes naturelles (pandémies mystérieuses, désastres climatiques, fin de l’Anthropocène) et historiques (guerres, totalitarismes), problèmes sociaux et psychologiques (folie, psychoses collectives, solitude). Un signe emblématique du fantastique andrevonien est également son dialogue avec le cinéma d’horreur. Le nouveau fantastique de Jean-Pierre Andrevon analyses the uncanny facets of the fantastic by Jean-Pierre Andrevon, a contemporary writer called “the French Stephen King” or “the French H.P. Lovecraft". Andrevon presents a new vision of the fantastic, deeply rooted in contemporary everyday life, seemingly monotonous and banal, in which both his characters and his readers evolve. Thus, the author reveals a different, harrowing side of the world familiar to the reader, as it turns into a powerful source of horror: natural catastrophes (mysterious pandemics, climate-related disasters, end of the Anthropocene), historical tragedies (wars, totalitarianism), social and psychological problems (madness, collective psychosis, loneliness). Another hallmark of Andrevonian fantastic is its dialogue with horror cinema.
