If her cerebral nature makes Rachilde "a French cousin" of Edgar Allan Poe, the same bloody irony unites the two imaginations in the same taste for macabre fantastic, the same fondness for the bizarre, the dream, animality, monstrosity, mutilated limbs and the same attraction to the games of perversion and those of eros and Thanatos. But the narrative strategy of this nervous writing fueled by a network of obsessions differs from that of the American writer.
