L'Horreur et l'Urban Fantasy chez Fritz Leiber

[alephaleph]

Elwin Cotman analyse la place de l'horreur et de la ville dans l'oeuvre de Fritz Leiber à travers un commentaire de sa nouvelle Smoke Ghost :

Fritz Leiber, most famous as the creator of the Lankhmar stories, was one of the first horror writers to move the genre from its 19th century Gothic trappings to noir elements. Many of his short stories focus on the urban, and engage with the city in all its seediness, filth, and exploitation
