La chandelle et la hache es una novela de suspense y crimen escrita por Fredric Brown, publicada originalmente en inglés como 'Here Comes a Candle'. La historia sigue a Joe Bailey, un joven atormentado por un trauma infantil relacionado con una rima infantil y un trágico incendio, mientras intenta navegar por su vida en el Chicago de la posguerra. Esta edición en francés, publicada por Editions PAC dentro de su colección Red Label en 1978, presenta una narrativa intensa que mezcla el realismo psicológico con la atmósfera del cine negro. A través de una estructura innovadora que incluye guiones cinematográficos y relatos cortos, Brown explora la fatalidad y la lucha interna de un protagonista marcado por el pasado.
Fredric Brown was an American science fiction, fantasy, and mystery writer. He is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of one to three pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well. One of his stories, "Arena", was adapted into a 1967 episode of the American television series Star Trek.
