Crooked Ink - New story: Calipso

Hello there! 🍸

Finally, after a few months, I was able to write a new short story—just in time for my birthday! 🎉

Unfortunately for my readers who prefer the English language –here is a photo of them–, this last tale was written in Italian 🇮🇹.

The idea came from an old sketch I wrote down more than a year ago: in a certain room, one can hear sounds from another place on the planet... then, while developing the ideas, it changed a little bit.

Crooked Ink - New story: The March

Hello there! 🍸

Finally, here is the first letter sent for Crooked Ink! Also for this website, as for Godsip Club's newsletter, I just switched email service to Buttondown.

In the last few weeks, interrupted by a brief vacation, I've been able to work on a short story. It is called The March. Here is a very brief synopsis: "A quiet English village. A boy and an old man. A revengeful, ancient force." I'm not very good with outlines.

Since it is set in England, I preferred writing it in English. There are some terms specific for that region's folklore that wouldn't be easy to translate. There are some unique words, like the Italian "cazzimma": I challenge anyone to translate it in other languages.
