Zothique est le nom d’un continent. Un monde mythique de sortilèges, de prodiges, d’incongruités, de maléfices et de terreurs innombrables. Dans cet univers, l’amour et la mort ont les couleurs de l’illusion, et les hallucinations sont toujours moins effrayantes que la réalité. Dans les villes et villages, dans les forêts et les campagnes, les morts, les momies, les squelettes ne laissent aux vivants aucun répit et, sans cesse, les assaillent et les poursuivent. Si les contes de ce recueil dépaysent totalement, ils n’en restent pas moins l’exacte expression de nos terreurs les plus profondes.Zothique dépeint les destins des habitants du dernier continent de la Terre, lorsque celle-ci est à son agonie… et met en scène l’une des fantasy les plus envoûtantes et splendides que la littérature ait produite.
