 "Whitechapel Rhapsody is a knock-out collection with pages of mesmerizing descriptive language, as only Alessandro Manzetti can do. A collection built on The Ripper’s victims that, one by one, draw you in and constrict your breath as an ongoing nightmare. Just excellent! What a talent, loved it!"
--Marge Simon, Multiple Bram Stoker Award Winning Author

 My new dark poetry collection WHITECHAPEL RHAPSODY reviewed by Mike Thorn.
Excerpt from the review: Alessandro Manzetti’s Whitechapel Rhapsody offsets the deluded grandeur of Jack the Ripper’s psychological world against the vivid despair of his environment. Written as a series of thematically connected, free-verse poems, Manzetti’s collection functions as an interesting exercise in depicting this core dissonance: the serial killer’s self-aggrandizing, romantic view of his own violence versus the true horror of its consequences (...) The book boasts a breadth of reference that is fascinating and, in line with its central concerns, conflicted (not only key characters from the New Testament and Greek mythology, but also Rembrandt, Poe and Dickens, among others) (...) At a slim length of fewer than one hundred pages, Whitechapel Rhapsody is ambitious, richly developed, and well worth your time.

Introduction by Linda D. Addison. Released by Independent Legions, for sale at Amazon:  Released today, in English, the Grahic Novel HER LIFE MATTERS (Or Brooklyn Frankenstein) scripted by me and Stefano Cardoselli (who also illustrated it). Introduction by Linda D. Addison. The book is for sale at Amazon. Doctor Jamaica Foxy is a brilliant and successful scientist. In her laboratory she created Frankie, an eight feet tall kind-hearted giant. She taught him everything, taking care of him like a mom. Because of his appearance, Frankie has only one friend, the clever thirteen-year-old girl Mary Shelley. His small world is enough for him. He likes his routines: eating chocolate cookies and fried eggs, playing Pong with Mary, listening to Coltrane, watching baseball on television, taking walks with the Doctor, and sleeping late.But one morning after breakfast, Doctor Foxy mysteriously disappears after leaving home to do simple errands. Desperate, Frankie runs to look for her, following her scent on the streets. Brooklyn in the 1970s is not a good place with a killer called the Son of Sam leaving a trail of dead bodies behind him and a gang of white supremacists making life hell for black people throughout the neighborhood.What happened to Doctor Foxy? When Frankie discovers the truth, the kind-hearted giant turns into a killing machine. He wants to avenge his mom at all costs. From Linda D. Addison's Introduction: "Her Life Matters ask you to consider many questions, besides the obvious one that inspired the title. What makes a living being human and what makes it a monster? Allow this remarkable book to entertain and disturb you."

 Ben Walker reviewed my nee dark poetry collection Whitechapel Rhapsody for Unnerving Magazine Issue 14,
A little excerpt from the review: (...) There's talk of devils, astrological influence, ghosts and angels, perfectly conveying the uncertainty people must have been feeling back then. Beauty and horror intertwine, leaving you with a constant sense of unease—and rightly so. (...)  Released Weird Tales Magazine Issue 364, edited by Jonathan Maberry, including my new dark poem 'The Canal' (freely inspired by the Lovecraft's poem) together with morks by many talented writers.

Excerpt from the review: (...) Whitechapel Rhapsody is everything I’ve come to love about Manzetti and more. (...) For those willing to look behind the curtain they will see more than the horrific true life tale of a monster. They will also see the horror that occurs in a place where life is not sacred and has no dignity, and the only god is made of copper coins. Read the full review.
