As Orrin explores blackest shadows of the library, he discovers further paintings of dozen children riding a giant goat glowing with human vitality. He’s about to become Isidora’s pawn. You’ll see what she wants you to see...

Shanti: The Sadist Heaven! Review and Interview With The Author Alessandro Manzetti

July 03, 2019 by Dave in Spooky Reads

“South Paris 5.  Hell on Earth.  Where flesh is traded for sex, sadism, and sustenance.  Where the sky roils with boiling rain during the Uxor Monsoon season.  Where thoughts of escape are futile unless you have enough credits.  Shanti, the refuge of the ultra-rich.  Where the elite peddle perversions.  A dream, a sanctuary away from the evils of South Paris 5, protected from the horrors of reality.  Untouchable, unbreakable, unattainable.  Or is it?”

Dave is reviewing Alessandro Manzetti’s novel and I got a chance to interview Alessandro about his creepy creations!
