Published in 1972 in the Marabout Fantastic series, Memoirs of the Shadow gathers one hundred and twenty short pieces that perfectly capture the unique world of Marcel Béalu.
Introduced by Jean-Baptiste Baronian in a preface entitled “Marcel Béalu or the Reasons for the Irrational”, the collection leads readers into a universe where everyday reality is subtly disturbed by mystery, dreams and the unexpected.
Rather than relying on dramatic effects, Béalu creates an atmosphere of quiet unease in which ordinary places and familiar objects slowly reveal hidden dimensions.
The volume also includes a bibliography of the author's works, making it an excellent introduction to one of the most distinctive voices in twentieth-century French fantastic literature.
