AB In his collection of phantasy short stories Les histoires singulières, Muno breaches the convention of the genre that concerns the presentation of death and phantoms. Frightening and fascinating at the same time, death always assumes the figure of a woman who is either average or seducing. Her coming is announced by female messengers. Death in Muno is not a tragic event: it is a promise of a better life and a salvation from the worries of schematic and overwhelming everyday reality.
