<br/><br/> This article explores the importance of stories. It starts with what the German philosopher Wilhelm Schapp has called our “entanglement in stories”: the human need to tell stories and to tell one’s own story; to invent. Then, the author describes how he worked with an adolescent girl placed in a children’s home to create, together, a story that would contribute to a narration of a self, to a drawing of a self at the heart of the crisis. The horror genre became the preferred medium for telling this story with several themes: from the difficulties of puberty to a “baby’s game” that went wrong.
