Faldistoires grandfather, a man plagued by delusions of being a ghost, believes he possesses supernatural powers. Meanwhile, Sylvies mother, an avid tarot reader, conjures storm clouds to seek retribution against those she perceives as witches. Despite his outward appearance as a devoted father, Sébastiens father harbors sinister intentions. It is Croustines grandfather who crafts a pair of slippers from the deceased family dog, but it is Sébastiens father, the cunning Kevin Lambert, who consistently appears at the scene of tragedies, even in the cemetery, where small graves are unearthed one after another. Chicoutimi, Quebec, proves to be a perilous environment for children, yet these young victims of rape, arbitrary violence, and senseless murder manage to return from the dead. Undeterred, they reintegrate into society, explore their sexual identities, keep a watchful eye on grown-up misdeeds, and plot their apocalyptic retribution.

Surreal and darkly comedic, this debut novel by Kevin Lambert, a writer renowned for his controversial and celebrated works, challenges the adult world and then exacts revenge. Lambert's writing style is characterized by its vivid imagery and provocative themes, making him a prominent figure in Quebec's literary landscape.
