Tales From the Garret

• Year of publication

Bastien needs to know the exact day he will die, so he calls on the services of a strange laboratory that claims he will choke to death while eating the day after next.

Ever since his girlfriend inherited her grandmother’s collection of tribal art, nothing’s been the same for Miriam. She’s beset by irrepressible itching, and that’s just the start of her torment.

Barbara is a cartoonist. One night, she opens the little closet behind her desk and finds a room hidden under the rafters. Her explorations are about to turn her life upside down.

Each of the three chapters in Tales of the Garret takes place in the same apartment on the eighth and final floor of a Parisian building over the course of three summer heat waves. In these goosebump-inducing stories, love—often thwarted—plays a central role, and fright, which also lurks in the recesses of contemporary neuroses: depression, loneliness, obsession, and anxiety. With their macabre tales, Elizabeth Holleville and Iris Pouy evoke favorite childhood reads from the fantastical tales of Charles Perrault and Marcel Aymé, genre films, and American horror comics.
