This is an automatically translated description

These fantasy stories were written by Michel Trumbull when he was between sixteen and nineteen years old. He admits that he wrote these stories to escape from real life. In the author's opinion, which he expresses in the preface, the years indicated at the end of the stories are incorrect. Rather, these dates correspond to the time when Trumbull revised the stories he had already written. As the author himself admits, he was influenced by Jean Ray, Edgar Allan Poe, and H.P. Lovecraft. Unlike Michel Trumbull's other works, Tales for Clumsy Drunks does not come from the era in which he wrote them, nor from the territory where he lives, i.e. Quebec. Unrealistic elements are interwoven into stories that may seem real at first, which is the essence of a fantastic story.
