What is your novel about?
My latest book is a collection of horror stories, and Goodnight and Sweet Dreams, a rather ironic title. The stories are based on nightmares and human fears; there are demons, asylums, possessed dolls, witches, haunted forests, wells that lead to another world, and possessions. I love playing with the combination of fears, nightmares, horror, and psychology. Each title has a Latin name that enhances its meaning
What are you looking to express to readers with your work?
I want to help people appreciate horror literature even if they don’t read it, because horror literature not only amplifies emotions through fear and the adrenaline it provokes, but it can also help us face our deepest fears and make us stronger.
Why choose horror?
Because in horror, different genres are easily combined: splatter, paranormal, fantasy, romance, and erotic; all these genres can coexist well in horror and, moreover, horror literature makes us feel deep emotions, makes the adrenaline flow in our body, page after page, like no other genre does.
