A chillingly plausible novel about the collapse of Italian society and one man's struggle to retain his humanity amid the horror "A bleak, lyrical tale that evokes Cormac McCarthy's The Road.... Gruesome, intense, and strange... a eurozone nightmare brought to life on the page."--James Lovegrove, Financial Times It is 2025, and Italy is on the brink of collapse. Borders are closed, banks withhold money, the postal service stalls. Armed gangs of drug-fuelled youths roam the countryside. Leonardo was a famous writer and professor before a sex scandal ended his marriage and career. Heading north in search of her new husband, his ex-wife leaves their daughter and her son in his care. If he is to take them to safety, he will need to find a quality he has never possessed: courage.

First, the voice of my father. First, the rasping death rattle of his voice calling me. His voice everywhere, surrounding. Each way I turn, his voice equally there, calling my name. Boy, rattled the voice. Boy. I start in each direction to go to him, but I hear the voice everywhere so I stand still. Boy, says the voice, its rattle thinning, hollowing. A thick fogbank rolling in over the water, father's figure rising from it. Father's figure draped in blue, a blue gown, his face swollen and bruised. A smear of yellow on his chest, a badge of yellow pulsing in the blue fabric. I rush into the water, shouting his name. Father! Just as I am about to dive and swim to him, he holds up his hand, commanding me to stop. I stand waist-deep in the freezing water. Murder, he says. I am murder. Is he saying murder, or mother? I can't be sure. Boy, Father says. I am put to death. No, I shout. No! The figure continues to rise, to swell as a corpse might after days in the water. It points at me. Boy, it commands. Find the one. Punish. Father! I shout, as the figure loses its structure, collapses into the rolling fogbank. Above the whispering I hear one last word. Sign, the deathsound says. Sign.

Zombie - romanzo breve (91 pagine) - Bart ha scelto di godersi gli anni della vecchiaia isolato dal resto del mondo. Ha tutto ciò che gli serve, nella sua casa fra i boschi... pace, armonia, serenità. Eppure non riesce a smettere di pensare al passato e ai fantasmi che reca con sé. Fino a quando non saranno gli spettri di un tempo ormai lontano a bussare alla sua porta. Pronti a reclamare la sua anima. Bart ha costruito la casa nei boschi di Greenville con le sue stesse mani e dentro di sé nutre ancora la speranza che suo figlio James decida di trasferirsi con la famiglia lì da lui, per godere della stessa pace, per condividere ciò che resta del suo futuro. Ma la pacata quotidianità di Bart sta per essere infranta da qualcosa che non aveva preso in considerazione, un orrore lontano ma che potrebbe raggiungerlo anche nel suo angolo di paradiso: lo percepisce, tutto attorno a sé, ne ascolta i resoconti alla radio. E allora capisce che il suo tempo sta scadendo e che dovrà fare il possibile per rimettere le cose a posto. Non è ancora troppo tardi per salvare i suoi cari. Bart si prepara ad affrontare la sfida più importante della sua vita. Nonostante la paura. Nonostante nessuno possa udire le sue urla farsi strada in mezzo agli alberi. Pietro Gandolfi si alimenta di orrori, poi li digerisce fino a espellerli ricoperti da una patina di puro disagio. C’è chi continua a paragonare il suo lavoro a quello di Stephen King, anche se lui è ancora dell’idea di ispirarsi più a Clive Barker e Richard Laymon. In fin dei conti non gli importa, almeno fino a quando non verrà paragonato a Federico Moccia. Ha pubblicato l’antologia personale Dead of Night, i romanzi La ragazza di Greenville, William Killed the Radio Star, Clayton Creed, Nel nome del padre, House of Dead Dolls, Il veleno dell’anima e The Road to Her e alcune novelle fra cui Who’s Dead Girl?, Devil Inside, Ben & Howard e Avventura alla stazione di servizio; suoi racconti compaiono in varie antologie. Per Delos Digital ha pubblicato i quattro capitoli della saga di Dead Nation e il racconto Revolution of the Dead all’interno della collana The Tube Exposed. Con Mauro Corradini ha fondato la sua etichetta personale, Midian Comics, con la quale pubblica – oltre a romanzi e racconti – i fumetti The Noise, The Fiend, Warbringer e The Idol, spaziando dall’horror allo sword & sorcery e vantando la collaborazione con disegnatori del calibro di Nicola Genzianella, Luca Panciroli, Christian Ferrero, Alberto Locatelli e tanti altri. Per lui l’orrore non ha frontiere, è sufficiente che si dimostri abbastanza viscerale e diretto da tenere alto l’interesse del suo pubblico. Senza filtri, senza censure. Perché l’orrore è tutto attorno a noi, basta avere il coraggio di non voltare la testa dall’altra parte.

Seven seconds. That's all it took for Web London to lose everything: his friends, his team, his reputation.

Coping with the blame-filled words of anguished widows and the suspicions of colleagues, Web tries to put his life back together. To do so, he must discover why he was the one man who lived through the ambush – and find the only other person who came out of the alley alive . . . a ten-year-old boy who has since disappeared.

One of the bloodiest battles in Marine Corps history, Operation Stalemate, as Peleliu was called, was overshadowed by the Normandy landings. It was also, in time, judged by most historians to have been unnecessary; though it had been conceived to protect MacArthur’s flank in the Philippines, the U.S. fleet’s carrier raids had eliminated Japanese airpower, rendering Peleliu irrelevant. Nevertheless, the horrifying number of casualties sustained there (71% in one battalion) foreshadowed for the rest of the war: rather than fight to the death on the beach, the Japanese would now defend in depth and bleed the Americans white. Drawing extensively on personal interviews, the Marine Corps History Division’s vast oral history and photographic collection, and many never-before-published sources, this book gives us a new and harrowing vision of what really happened at Peleliu--and what it meant. Working closely with two of the 1st Regiment’s battalion commanders--Ray Davis and Russ Honsowetz--Marine Corps veteran and military historian Dick Camp recreates the battle as it was experienced by the men and their officers. Soldiers who survived the terrible slaughter recall the brutality of combat against an implacable foe; they describe the legendary “Chesty” Puller, leading his decimated regiment against enemy fortifications; they tell of Davis, wounded but refusing evacuation while his men were under fire; and of a division commander who rejects Army reinforcements. Most of all, their richly detailed, deeply moving story is one of desperate combat in the face of almost certain failure, of valor among comrades joined against impossible odds.

A Times Literary Supplement 2017 Book of the Year On December 22, 1953, Mort Sahl (1927–2021) took the stage at San Francisco's hungry i and changed comedy forever. Before him, standup was about everything but hard news and politics. In his wake, a new generation of smart comics emerged—Shelley Berman, Mike Nichols and Elaine May, Lenny Bruce, Bob Newhart, Dick Gregory, Woody Allen, and the Smothers Brothers, among others. He opened up jazz-inflected satire to a loose network of clubs, cut the first modern comedy album, and appeared on the cover of Time surrounded by caricatures of some of his frequent targets such as Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Adlai Stevenson, and John F. Kennedy. Through the extraordinary details of Sahl's life, author James Curtis deftly illustrates why Sahl was dubbed by Steve Allen as “the only real political philosopher we have in modern comedy.” Sahl came on the scene the same year Eisenhower and Nixon entered the White House, the year Playboy first hit the nation's newsstands. Clad in an open collar and pullover sweater, he adopted the persona of a graduate student ruminating on current events. “It was like nothing I'd ever seen,” said Woody Allen, “and I've never seen anything like it after.” Sahl was billed, variously, as the Nation's Conscience, America's Only Working Philosopher, and, most tellingly, the Next President of the United States. Yet he was also a satirist so savage the editors of Time once dubbed him “Will Rogers with fangs.” Here, for the first time, is the whole story of Mort Sahl, America's iconoclastic father of modern standup comedy. Written with Sahl's full cooperation and the participation of many of his friends and contemporaries, it delves deeply into the influences that shaped him, the heady times in which he soared, and the depths to which he fell during the turbulent sixties when he took on the Warren Commission and nearly paid for it with his career.
