Fantastic, wonderful and fantasmatic in When comes the night of Daniel Sernine. The permeability of genera

In Quand vient la nuit (1983) Daniel Sernine proposes a more evanescent use of the paradigms of the fantastic, which permits him to reproduce the games of belief in the improbable as it circulates in the individual and collective imaginary. His use of conventional motifs like vampirism and werewolfery, for example, problematize the frontiers between notions of the canonical fantastic, the marvelous and phantasmagoria. S. Sacre reveals how these diverse discursive strategies, such as the internal focalization of the narrator and his relationship to the narrate or the choice of verb tense, blur the frontiers between these genres.
