Role: Contributing writer
I was invited to write one or more chapter(s) in the following books, alongside other writers. Usually my contribution focuses on video games and/or role-playing games within a certain theme.
Les Mythes de Lovecraft
Publisher’s summary: « In his house at R’lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming. And yet, it seems that in recent years, H. P. Lovecraft and his monsters have been more active than ever. Permeating pop culture in all its facets, from cinema to video games to comics, the Lovecraftian canon has tightened its tentacles around the cultural production of recent decades. Inexorably, it infuses its cosmic abomination into our dreams… But where do these creatures come from, and who are their creators? At the source of the horror we find, of course, Lovecraft himself, but also other minds such as Clark Ashton Smith, Lord Dunsany, Frank Belknap Long and Catherine L. Moore. All have enriched the Mythos with beings such as Dagon, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep and, of course, Cthulhu, brought together here in an illustrated, hierarchical bestiary. Through detailed portraits and thematic analyses, dive into the heart of Lovecraft’s dark and unspeakable myths! »
I wrote the chapter about video games inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos, under the direction of Jérôme Bouscaut.

Fantasy & Moyen Âge
Publisher’s summary: « Do you dream of the wonderful Middle Ages of The Lord of the Rings, The Witcher or The Farseer Trilogy? Have witches, wizards and dwarves always been part of your imagination? Do knights, Vikings and mercenaries fascinate you? Then this beautiful book is for you. All these stories, from fairy tales to Game of Thrones, exert an extraordinary power of fascination on us. Beware, however. Exploring the mysteries of medieval fantasy could change your destiny forever. Behind these unforgettable tales lie multiple literary and artistic works – from the legend of King Arthur to tales from all over the world – and their historical influences are legion – « barbarian » invasions, the art of war in the European Middle Ages and feudal Japan, castles and powerful women. Blended and sublimated, these sources are the lifeblood of works that have become impossible to ignore. »
I wrote the chapter about the treatment of the Middle Ages in tabletop role-playing games as well as an insert dedicated to a forgotten forefather of fantasy, Amadis of Gaul, under the direction of Victor Battaggion and Anne Besson.
