Patrick Senécal, Stéphanie Lapointe et Hugo Meunier, pour ne nommer que ceux-ci, nous ont gâtés d'histoires de leur cru, un amalgame de textes drôles, terrifiants ou malaisants, où les lecteurs pourront reconnaître les différents styles des auteur.trice.s qu'ils suivent et découvrir l'univers de ceux ou celles qu'ils ne connaissent pas !Out of the dark
