Abstract
This article will focus on different forms of hybridization in the contemporary Belgian fantasy novel. It
demonstrates aesthetic communion by referring to four authors: Alain Dartevelle, Christopher Gérard,
Thomas Gunzig and Bernard Quiriny. By analyzing the syncretism at once generic, poetic and stylistic
of their novels, it traces the contours of their mixed writing. It also reflects on the place that these
novelists reserve for the supernatural, an ingredient inherent in fantastic alchemy, as well as on the
national, even Belgian, character of their writing.
