Love is a worm that eats you up, from the inside, and you don't know how, or why, but you like that, you like being eaten up, because all that remains is that void that the other person fills. From the short story "Impurità" (included in the collection) "The best I can do is place you in the hands of the author who will stun and amaze you and make you laugh and perhaps cry." - P.S. Dunn A Zombie Apocalypse with no zombies; the Vatican secretly in contact with Aliens; a heroin junkie that loves poetry; those are only some of the ingredients of this amazing collection. Ordinary characters facing extraordinary situations, dry humor, philosophical musing dressed as whimsical, offhand commentary, and a fairy-tale like writing; those are the key elements of the style of this sometimes funny, and always profound and thought-provoking collection. In imaginative and descriptive writing reminiscent of Jorge Luis Borges, John Fante, a nod to Kurt Vonnegut (and the author may also have been influenced by Kafka), writer Dario Cannizzaro has crafted a collection of original shorter works that entertain as they provoke thought. The collection comprehends three previously published stories ("The Galway Review", "Trigger Warning", "Two Thousand Words" and "Chantwood Magazine"); five new unpublished pieces; and for the first time in a collection, the best-selling story "Impurità", which was Selected Work in 2012 by Apple iBooks.
