Synopsis: Poisoned Uxor 77 radioactive meteor fucked Hearth with a big Kaboom! changing the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet. No more animal protein, no more moral values or conscience, weird and obscene mutations. The primordial spirit of cannibalism rises again from its invisible grave, walking hand in hand with old friends: Depravity and Sadism, and no one is safe anymore. Everyone is subject to a single watchword: survival at all costs. Yeah, you heard me, the ‘Radioactive Bride’ will marry you, dear future mankind, giving you a taste of her plutonium milk, turning you into exquisite prey or ravenous perpetrator. This is a sort of diary of these days told through the lives of a few characters: new kind of freaks, half man/half worm, captured to become circus attractions; synthetic serial killers built-in labs; two-headed prostitutes offering special services to their clients; landfills with fights between women on next-gen drugs and mutated big rats; processions of new feminists who hunt for human testicles; the show of a fat lady offering viewers a succulent reason to come back (small pieces of her giant body); rich collectors of human organs; innovative restaurants and hyper-extreme brothels where pimps and celebrated chefs prepare the daily menu for their cannibal and depraved customers; the new slums of Paris, Rome and Berlin ruled by criminals; a shemale Pope with her infamous court, and a pedophile Governor watching excited, his aquariums of biomechanical, heretic creatures inside the Red Area of the New Wall.So, strap on your seatbelt, move past moral, mercy and standard food, and get ready to be ejected at high speed towards the New World waiting for you.

 My poetry collection DANCING WITH MARIA'S GHOST - Dark Encounters with the Ghost of Maria Callas (Independent Legions, 2021) has been nominated for the 2022 SFPA Elgin Award (Full-length Books category).
Synopsis: The line between love and obsession is thin—thinner when love looks like madness, and perhaps thinnest when the object of that love is no longer living. These dark and lyrical poems detail the desire and descent of a man who falls in love with the impossible: the ghost of the great coloratura soprano, Maria Callas. Once dubbed the ‘ultimate diva’, the tumult of this tragic beauty beckons to him from the underworld, and in shades of exquisite darkness she lures him deeper into sweet insanity and toward his own gorgeous destruction. Greek islands, Roman ruins, Parisian apartments. A quiet room in the chaos of war-ravaged Europe. On the stage, through the body, in the body that is a stage—these settings are the backdrop of this cursed romance. Through drama, theatre, the ache of broken genius and the strength of timeless art, the poems in this collection celebrate the memory of a beloved icon, and serenade the victims of doomed love. “Alessandro Manzetti’s exquisite poems are séance arias of an adoring, mourning heart. Like fated souls, he and Maria Callas are a mystic duet; unveered by time.” –Richard Christian Matheson "Manzetti trips the dark fantastic with the ghost of Maria Callas in this collection, spinning the reader on the edges of ephemeral shadows with his masterful poetry. This mesmerizing book ends with a section of bonus uncollected verse that opens with a fantastic piece he wrote with Joe Lansdale." –Linda D. Addison "A darkly erotic ode to self-destruction and obsessive desire, Alessandro Manzetti’s “Dancing with Maria’s Ghost” pulls the reader into a world of madness and longing where “the strawberries of psychosis” evoked by the dead diva Maria Callas lure the narrator ever deeper into the void. From the yacht Skorpios, where Aristotle Onassis rendez-voused with the famed soprano, to stages across Europe where Callas seduced the world with her portrayals of Violetta, Salome, Manon Lescaut, and so many others, Manzetti’s poetry gives new and darker dimensions to the desire that lures the lover ever closer to the void. A collection of imagery both stunning and seductive, where oblivion calls as relentlessly as passion." –Lucy Taylor "A gorgeous, heartstopping collection with breathtaking and devastating language. An unforgettable experience and a truly stunning homage to the iconic Maria Callas, this book is highly recommended." –Gwendolyn Kiste Buy the book at Amazon
