La peur

A series of tales and reflections that examine fear in its many forms, from private psychological torment to communal anxieties and unexplained events at sea. The volume opens with a dedication to a fellow poet and moves through stories that emphasize mood and atmosphere over clear resolution, portraying how dread can inhabit a single mind, spread contagiously between people, and provoke evasive responses from institutions and public opinion. The writing privileges poetic imagery and impressionistic detail, exploring the persistence of haunting visions and the uneasy border between the real and the uncanny.
