Paul Victor
The author is originally from the former Principality of Liège, from which he escaped to travel the world before settling in California and New Mexico. Returning to Belgium, he made his home in Brussels, where he currently resides. In addition to short stories, he also writes short detective novels under the pen name Paul Deléon.
Fifteen diverse atmospheres, featuring characters and situations as disparate as possible. Nevertheless, there are references to the Second World War, such as an SS officer on the run, a prisoner returning to his family, or a marine who is both from Marseille and Scotland. That's for the history buffs. Add to that a carnival panther woman, a priest throwing his cassock to the nettles, a garbage collector who is a poet and jazz fanatic, a bayou dweller who can tell when the electric chair in the neighboring penitentiary is activated, or an old lady who finds solitude perfectly acceptable, if not desirable. That's for the open-minded. Younger readers might find one or two adventures to their liking, such as "The Boogeyman," "The Little Man," or "The Misunderstood." Publication date: April 1, 2024.
