vingt ans d'une méningite. Dans l'hiver qui souffle, un promeneur trouve le couvercle du cercueil soulevé, le cadavre violé, la main gauche coupée net, le sexe mastiqué, le coeur disparu. Profanation. Horreur. Stupéfaction villageoise, crainte du diable, soupçons de vampirisme, ail et crucifix accrochés aux maisons pourtant protestantes... En avril de la même année, deux autres profanations atroces sont exécutées de manière semblable. Il faut un coupable pour des crimes qui rappellent à chacun la 'crasse primitive', les vices cachés ; les étreintes contre nature. Favez, un garçon de ferme un peu idiot aux yeux rougis, à l'épaule saillante, aux longues canines, qu'on a surpris à l'étable abusant des génisses, sera le coupable idéal.

morts aussi effrayants que grotesques : trois sœurs maquerelles régissent un bordel d'outre-tombe, des flics tabassent un prévenu jusqu'à le rendre tricolore, Jim et Joe jouent sadiquement avec les têtes d'un pierrot et de sa colombine, un poilu avoue avoir laissé sa place à un Allemand dans la tombe du Soldat inconnu, un moine le supplie de le remplacer pour garder le Saint-Graal, etc. Un Dieu ivre et grossier préside aux misères de ce petit monde grouillant de cafards et de mites. Le débonnaire Tulipe y va lui aussi de ses histoires, celles des clients tordus de l'hôtel tenu par sa femme. Chez les vivants comme chez les morts, l'âme humaine ressemble à une petite putain crasseuse et malodorante. Tulipe se réveille dans un cimetière, la gueule de bois et les bras en croix. Sous l'influence de Poe, Céline ou encore Jarry, ce premier roman inédit aux allures de danse macabre, écrit à l'âge de dix-neuf ans, dépeint avec sarcasme la société de l'après-guerre et de la crise des années trente.
