" Des cailloux dans le ventre est l'histoire d'un petit garçon de huit ans et de l'adulte instable qu'il est…
devenu. Au cours de son enfance, ses parents choisissent d'être une famille d'accueil en dépit du violent sentiment de jalousie que cela provoque en lui. Cette jalousie prend des proportions dramatiques quand l'enfant doit faire de la place à Robert, un jeune garçon auquel sa mère s'attache particulièrement. La relation qui naît entre eux va déclencher un événement qui transformera l'existence de la famille entière. Et particulièrement celle de Robert. À l'âge de vingt-huit ans, et après une longue absence, le fils vient rendre visite à sa mère. Il ne lui a rien pardonné. Mais cette femme, malade, a maintenant besoin de lui et comment pourrait-il ne pas profiter de la situation ? Des cailloux dans le ventre décrit les dégâts que s'infligent parents et enfants, comme pour nous rappeler que la famille est l'endroit dont il faut partir pour se trouver. Mais l'écrivain sait révéler les situations cocasses de nos existences et décrire la métamorphose d'un être qui se défait progressivement du poids de son enfance.

phénomènes mystérieux. Un monstre cornu, apparemment jailli de nulle part, frappe, tue. Un professeur de psychologie et ses étudiants ont, en gros, repris l'expérience de Phillip le fantôme et engendré par la fusion de leurs capacités mentales une entité malfaisante qui terrorise toute l'Euxémie. Avec l'aide du curé radiesthésiste Timothéus Burle, du prestidigitateur occultiste et métaphysicien Miroslav Jenkell, et de Sam Edwards, qui remplace Olaf Bégon à la direction de la Sûreté municipale, l'enquêteur sur le paranormal Marc Darlan tentera de résoudre toute l'affaire d'une façon assez originale. Tout comme les grands fauves d'Afrique, on prendra le monstre au piège grâce à une chèvre, en l'occurence une femme dont l'être maléfique s'est épris. -- 4e de couvJunie B., first grader: shipwrecked (A Stepping Stone Book(TM) #No. 6)
