L'école belge de l'étrange

[Uitarii]

Another writer who falls within the Jean Ray/Thomas Owen class but has yet to be translated and I think also needs to be, is Gerard Prevot. Neglected outside of Belgium. His story collections remind me more of Owen than Ray in terms of style and atmosphere (and do see some infusion of Poe and Lovecraft at times). He wrote 34 short stories in 3 collections. The ones which had particular striking effect were those with WW2 themes. It seems to me Prevot's short stories have a more consistent quality about them compared to Owen and Ray who had a greater output.
