Another
snake, another tree, another Eve.
A
surreal journey into obsessions and aberrations of the modern world
and
the darker side, which often takes control of the situation.
Madness,
violence, aberrant sex, war, hallucinations, sadism, disturbing
archetypes,
These are
the black fruits of human loneliness.
These
are the bloody roots of Eden Underground
Eden
Underground is a surreal journey into obsessions and aberrations of the modern
world and its darker side, which often takes control of the situation. Madness,
violence, aberrant sex, war, hallucinations, sadism, disturbing archetypes:
these are the black fruits of human loneliness,these are the bloody roots
of Eden Underground.
In
this untold world, men and women build their deformed, artificial underground
Eden, where they can unleash their dark side.
Death
is the hidden queen of these strange places designed by human alienation: harem
of silicone dolls who come to life, abandoned warehouses with copper tubs full
of broken pieces of Eve, a bloody collection of copies of the first primordial
woman, imaginary worlds inspired by the ghosts of the drug, small Eden dug into
the bowels of the sand of war, trenches for refuge from too much horror, the
religious fanaticisms and their heretics and violent Eden stained with blood,
open air glittering brothels turned into landfills of souls and lost
loves.
Haven't
you ever heard the loneliness knocking at your door? Or the steps of our dark
side, freed from the body and the cage of our conscience, that is
coming to take us with a shimmering cleaver in its hand? In Eden
Underground you can hear all these ghostly noises, too real, too close.

“…a
personal take of the world that surrounds all of us, those hidden parts that
create monsters and that serve as a dwelling place for demons that invade our
lives, thoughts and actions.” –Tanja Jurkovic, Horrornews.net
“From
the first stanza of the first poem in this amazing collection, I was drawn into
the incredibly dark scenes of a disturbing and nightmarish “Eden”.” – Marge
Simon, multiple Bram Stoker Award® winner
“Eden
Underground delivers an intense and visually stunning collection of horror
scenarios. Rich in eldritch dreams and manic visions, these poems get under
your skin. Manzetti is a maestro of the dark fantastic.” – Bruce
Boston, author of Resonance Dark and Light
"The
works by Alessandro Manzetti are exciting and clever. Anything
he writes is a must-read.”
– Jeani Rector,
Editor, The Horror Zine
"… Manzetti’s intelligent
view has the ability to create out of such horrors, powerful and admirable
images that can surprise." – Helen McCabe, author of Piper
“I
couldn’t put it down. So intense is the writing that I had to keep
reading. If you have never read a book of poetry before or if you never
thought you could be a fan of poetry let this book be the one to introduce you
to the words of verse.” – Horror Novel Reviews
