Premiere Readings: Edward Lee about NARAKA

4/17/2018

Author Edward Lee about my forthcoming novel NARAKA (In English, Independent Legions, May 2018)

“Have a taste of the ‘caviar of abomination.’ Wow! I am unable to think of a more original novel in any genre. If pressed to categorize this work which defies categorization, I’d have to call it Dystopic Alternate-Technology Reverse-Steampunk Orwellian Hallucinotic Cyber-Smut-Horror. Each paragraph is a delectable new treat in what you should think of as a diabolical Whitman’s Sampler from Hell. I’ve never taken LSD and now I don’t have to; after finishing NARAKA, its hideous, chimeral imagery raced ceaseless Tartarean circles in my brain, like a spew of appalling living things, and I was helpless to stop it. This book is a must-read for fans of any type of heavy-weight non-mainstream fiction, an unparalleled literary carpet-bombing that will warp your mind for some time to come.”
--Edward Lee, author of THE BIGHEAD and WHITE TRASH GOTHIC

NARAKA by Alessandro Manzetti

No Mercy reviewed by Damaged Skull Blog

Live at Damaged Skull Writer and Reviewer BLog the review of my last poetry collection, No Mercy (Crystal Lake Publishing, June 2018, in collaboration with Marge Simon)
Excerpt from the review: (...) This is dark horror poetry at its most intense and elaborate! Taking this poetic journey with Alessandro Mazetti, readers will surely recognize some names, things, and activities. But you will not know it all and that is good. NO MERCY truly offers no mercy! It is an unstoppable flood of images flickering past the readers’ startled eyes at warp speed. A frightening intensity set upon you like an attack of piranhas. I urge you to plunge your head into this waterfall and see what terrifying wonders await you! A magical technicolor nightmare, if you will. Perhaps my words be too flowery, but I am struck dumb for mere words to explain what I saw in this collection of poems. NO MERCY brings to mind the first time that I read William Burroughs’ Naked Lunch. It’s like taking an acid trip without actually dropping any acid! I don’t know about you, but I really like that feeling of being both frightened and yet laughing at the depravity. When you are done reading, the “real” world will seem so terribly normal and boring.
