Stories for short drunks

These fantasy stories were written by Michel Trumble when he was between sixteen and nineteen years old. He admits that he wrote these novels to escape from real life. According to the author's opinion, which he expresses in the preface, the years indicated at the end of the stories are incorrect. These dates are more likely to correspond to the time when Tremblay reworked the stories already written. As the author himself admits, he was influenced by Jean Ray, Edgar Allan Poe and H.F. Lovecraft. Unlike other works of Michel Tremblay, "Tales for derelict drunkards" do not grow out of the era when he wrote them, nor from the territory where he lives, that is, from Quebec. Unreal elements are woven into stories that may seem real at first, which is the essence of a fantastic story.
