New Book Release: Sacrificial Nights by Bruce Boston and me

I'm thrilled to announce a new book release: the new dark poetry novella 'SACRIFICIAL NIGHTS' by Bruce Boston  and me, published by Kipple Officina Libraria. The book is available on Amazon (paperback and eBook edition)

Synopsis:
Bram Stoker Award Winners Bruce Boston and Alessandro Manzetti combine their poetic and narrative talents in a poetry novella that blends the genres of horror, surrealism, crime, and noir. Set in a large America city, Sacrificial Nights follows the lives of some of those who inhabit its late-night streets: prostitutes, pimps, a thief, an arsonist, a police detective, a psychotic killer, and more. Their tales and the tale of the city itself are richly complemented by British artist Ben Baldwin’s striking illustrations. This is a dark read with some explicit graphic content.

Quotes:

“Original, intelligent and exquisitely rendered, Sacrificial Nights is an absolute tour de force, a richly layered Chinese Box of sorts, where each part is as important as the whole. In a world of cookie-cutter plots and tired poetry, Sacrificial Nights is a shot of cool night air, shadowy, dangerous, and addictive as sin.”
—Greg F. Gifune, author of The Bleeding Season

"When a book is both lucid and hallucinogenic, the effect can be shocking, luminous … transgressive. The collision of talents in this extraordinary work practically establishes a new genre – macabre noir."
—Robert Dunbar, author of Willy

“Populated by denizens who straddle the line between salvation and damnation, Sacrificial Nightsreads like a flashlight exploration of the darkness lurking behind closed doors and down blind alleys. Boston and Manzetti deftly navigate the shadows where human monsters dwell.”
—Michael McBride, author of Subterrestrial
​
“The voyeuristic and sadomasochistic latency in art and sex is on stark display in Boston-Manzetti’s epic, with its cinematic images giving flesh to daemonic Street theater where anything can be sacrificed. With startlingly economical poetry, the authors give gritty vitality to the lowlife souls whose moment-to-moment movements are subconscious rituals of destruction. Sacrificial Nights hits just the right notes—with the heavy blow of a Death Metal sledgehammer or thesoft whisper of an Xacto blade through flesh.”
—Randy Chandler, coauthor with t. winter-damon of Duet for the Devil and Forbidden Gospels: The Devil’s Cut
