Le chronotope de la peur dans les romans fantastiques d’Anne Duguël
The chronotope of fear in Anne Duguël’s fantastic novels

Summary/Abstract: Playing with reader’s fear is one of the objectives of fantastic literature. The present study, analysing two traditional fantastic motifs: of a ghost and of a dream, indicates the importance of time and space in Anne Duguël’s novels “Gargouille” and “Le corridor”. Particular attention was drawn to two space structures inextricably linked with time: the haunted house in “Gargouille” and the dream world in “Le corridor”. The aim of this analysis is to show how the author uses chronotope in order to arouse the reader’s fear.
