En torno a la composición de tres cuentos fantásticos de José María Merino

In this article, we undertake the reading of three fantasy short stories of the Spanish writer José María Merino by means of the theoretical propositions of Michel Lord and Juan Herrero Cecilia. These propositions attempt to elucidate the composition of the fantasy narrative delimiting a set of phases. This model applied to fantasy narrative arises from the perspective of Jean-Michel Adam on the composition of narrative texts in general.
