Stockholm Syndrome – Alessandro Manzetti e Stefano Fantelli

antologia di racconti, 2015 – ebook (epub + mobi)

”Midnight Baby – Horror Lolita” by Alessandro Manzetti, Bram Stoker Award finalist in 2014, is the horror story of a visionary and contemporary Lolita. Rita spent her childhood in Rome, raped by her father and his depraved friends, a circle of monsters wearing strange masks. She becomes the Midnight Baby, a doll of flesh, a sexual game that evolves from a nightmare into something different. The relationship between father and daughter changes when Rita become a woman. Her terrible childhood transformed Rita from the Midnight Baby, docile and passive, into the killer Lolita, seeking revenge, love, and herself in the balance between the eternal return of the past and the delirium and hallucinations of the present, using her chainsaw, driven by Johnny Cash’s songs and the unknown voices in her head, until she fulfills an extreme, forbidden dream. A creepy, cannibalistic, violent, and passionate vision of her entire life.

Due racconti horror, ambientati a Roma e Bologna, che interpretano in modo originale e disturbante la Sindrome di Stoccolma. Raccapriccio, cannibalismo e ritornanti nel segno del sesso più malato, tutto vissuto e raccontato come se i protagonisti vivessero – e morissero – nell’appartamento accanto.
