The book: This Guide represents an invitation to discover one of the most iconic places in Sicily and in all of Italy, an attempt to venture into the nooks that house the lesser-known stories of the volcano, without neglecting the many legends that have nourished its myth. Etna contains within itself, in its countless layers, the modes and trends of thousands of years of folklore: here, mythological dreams, saints and Christian devils, the old glories of folk horror, and even extraterrestrials meet, all together and at the same moment. The book includes an imaginative map of Etna indicating the places where the stories take place. The author: Journalist, writes for the «Quotidiano di Sicilia» and is the responsible director of the magazine «Move in Sicily». He has written for the «Corriere del Mezzogiorno» and other regional publications. After completing academic studies in Contemporary History, with a thesis on Philip K. Dick, he has alternated a passion for genre literature with analysis and study of the publishing sector. He has curated a column dedicated to monsters in horror literature and cinema for horror.it and his stories have appeared in the magazine «Parallaxis», on Daniele Barbieri's blog (labottegadelbarbieri.org), and in the weird narrative volume Strange visions published by Edizioni Hypnos. He continues to work as a journalist, but dreams of flying saucers made from wheel rims and monsters wearing a cap. For Palindromo he has published, with illustrations by Chiara Nott, Fantastic creatures of Sicily and the Contemporary Bestiary of Sicily.
