David Gagnon veut rénover la Maison brûlée, dont il hérite à la mort de son grand-oncle, une maison-fantôme comme les autres dans le fond d’un rang de Saint-Christophe-de-la-Traverse. Il veut aussi y cultiver la terre et y terminer son roman, malgré les menaces d’expropriation, les voix qui vibrent, les hallucinations, les racines qui gagnent du terrain, les tiques et l’hiver féroce. Engoncé dans son tombeau de bois pourri, dans l’alcool et dans les archives de sa famille, le jeune écrivain est appelé à accomplir la prophétie sauvage, celle qui avait autrefois animé Auguste et plusieurs autres avant lui, et qui animera ceux qui ne sont pas encore nés.

Mathieu Villeneuve’s pristine prose encompasses the private and the universal in this major debut novel inspired by native American tales, locally coloured literature and the crime novel genre.
David Gagnon sets out to renovate Burnt House, a haunted house in a far-flung mountainous region of Quebec which he has inherited from his great-uncle. He is also determined to cultivate the land and finish his novel, despite the threat of being thrown off his land, the haunting voices, the hallucinations, the rampant weeds, the ticks and the bitter winter weather. Cooped up in this tomb of rotting wood amid the family archives and copious quantities of alcohol, it is the young writer’s destiny to fulfil a savage prophecy which has cursed many a person before him and which will continue to haunt those who are yet to be born.
Borealium tremens is a story about mountainous legends and prophecies, mountain elks driven mad by ticks, haunted houses, lost manuscripts, forest fires and floods.
