Non Album Collection 1

Chaboute

After ten years in prison Zoe is no longer afraid of solitude. So, when she leaves, she decides to go and live alone in the small village of La Goule, inheriting from her grandmother's house. Of course she expected a difficult integration, but all the same! The reception of the villagers is particularly inhospitable ... Zoé disturbs them, but in what? The hints of sorcery that emanate here and there are a staging intended to make it flee or the clues of some secret practice to which this strange community is engaged ... In the pages Christophe Chabouté raises the suspense and transforms A remote village in a deadly spider web. A detail, a look, a light and the trees themselves become menacing to the point that the reader shares the anguish of Zoe, the prey of these monsters with a human face. A graphic of beauty, playing both the nervousness of the line and the flat blacks, confirms the talent of this young author awarded at the last festival of Angouleme.

Lydie

This is just a little one-shot with a sweet story, I wouldn't really know how to categorise it. Basically, inter-war France, a young woman's baby dies at birth, a couple of months later, she says it's come back to her, but no-one can see it. The book's pretty cute.

Maybe this Tuesday

Achilles, a man in his forties, has just buried his parents. He likes to sit on the beach below his house and watch the passing ships heading for the high seas. So much so that one evening he falls asleep sitting on his chair with both feet firmly buried in the sand. However, when he awakes he is unable to move: during the night he has literally taken root. As a huge storm brews over his island, a seagull flies towards him. The seagull, which can talk, informs Achilles on which day of the week he will die: a Tuesday. But which one? That's the question. Fortunately today is a Wednesday. The tide is rising and will soon flood the beach. If the seagull is telling the truth Achilles needs to uproot himself quickly to avoid drowning. It would appear that the time has come for him to cease contemplating passing ships...
