The origin: The world of fantasy: between legend and imagination
The world of fantasy is not just about monsters or magic. It is a complex alchemy, a bridge stretched between reality and the impossible.
In this article, I reveal my sources of inspiration, the origins that nourish my novels and give life to worlds where the strange rubs shoulders with the familiar.
The origin
It often all starts with an old story heard in childhood.
These legends are sometimes incomplete. And it is in these gaps that fiction is born.
I have always been fascinated by the shadowy areas of history: forgotten peoples, vanished civilizations, rites about which we know nothing anymore.
What do we really know about the esoteric Middle Ages? About Celtic oral tradition? About spiritual alchemy?
These “blank spaces” become, for me, calls to creation.
Some of my texts are born without logic. They emerge from a dream, a word scribbled on the fly, a fleeting image.
“An open eye in a church fresco inspired an entire possession scene in The Kremp Stone …”
In my writing process, I always leave room for what defies reason.
More than just adventures, I try to offer my readers a resonance.
Every novel is a quest — not just for the characters, but for the reader themselves. A confrontation with their fears, their hopes, their buried memories.
Writing fantasy means exploring the margins: those of History, of memory, and of the mind.
If my novels resonate with you, it may be because they awaken something within you. An old memory. An inexplicable shiver.
Thank you for walking through these doors with me.
