Le Kaiju de Mississauga atterrit en février ! (Un Laframboise historique? Si!)
En novembre 1979, un train de marchandises déraille à Mississauga, le propane dans les wagons-citernes créant une explosion si puissante que la boule de feu est aperçue aussi loin qu’à Niagara Falls. Victor Tremblay, un jeune amateur de monstres japonais, sent sa maison trembler et il s’éveille, découvrant le ciel orangé. Curieux, il s’approche assez pour entrevoir ce qu’il croit être un Kaiju de feu qui piétine la voie ferrée… Le nouveau roman de Michèle Laframboise!
