Resumen de L’usage de l’épigraphe et de la dédicace chez les fantastiqueurs belges
This article deals with the use of the epigraph and the dedication in Belgian French-speaking fantastique. The analysis of these paratext in the work of Jean Ray, Michel de Ghelderode, Jean Muno, Jean-Baptiste Baronian or Bernard Quiriny reveals that they make systematic and strategic use of them in order to seduce the reader with the promise of a strange adventure. They also seek to valorise their scriptural production and to make it a speciality of Belgian literature, namely a school of the bizarre.
