I received an ARC copy via NetGallery in exchange for an honest review.

In this sci-fi adventure, a group of Native Americans, from a dystopian future, find a system that allows time travel. However, the cost required for this mission is expensive.
The group organizes a journey through time for one of them with the mission of killing Christopher Columbus before he discovers the Americas so as to guarantee their people independent development and, perhaps, thus save the human race from the cataclysms that have decimated it.

The story is very fascinating, full of metaphors and innuendos, fascinating.

What I didn't like is the link between the motive and the mission: I don't understand why stopping Columbus would have prevented the end of the world. However, the dynamics of time travel have been respected and in an original and imaginative form.

Too bad about the ending, I would have expected much more.

I would like to thank Netgallery for sending me the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Set in the United States in the midst of satanic panic, the life of a group of queer misfits is inadvertently intertwined with a murder investigation conducted by the sheriff and a strange government agent. Given the cruelty and rituality of the discovery of the body, a curfew is triggered throughout the city and the boys can do nothing but disobey the provisions of the authorities. The group's everyday life runs parallel to that of the investigations until the paths meet and the mess breaks out. Is there really something demonic that is terrorizing the citizens or is it all the result of people's paranoia? Who will side with the "weirdos" against the prejudices and accusing looks of the community?

Very topical, funny, macabre, this story is truly one of the most beautiful I've read in recent times. The devil hides behind the most innocent look but man is the real evil.

Absolutely recommended, if you drop a tear you'll know you've really made it yours.

Fun, colourful, exciting and real.
The story of four very different friends who decide to celebrate Halloween by venturing into a cemetery at night. Here fate will lead them to awaken a dangerous wooden Automaton that will take them to an alternative world populated by bizarre, magical creatures born from the author's fervent imagination and beautifully represented by the colors of an illustrator and designer.
The story reminded me a bit of Alice in Wonderland, a bit of the Wizard of Oz, a sort of growth and affirmation story that leads the protagonists to confront themselves, with their weaknesses and insecurities.

Really nice, 100% recommended

I'm honest, the only flaw was the ending.
It wraps up very quickly and left a bad taste in my mouth. Not being able to do spoilers I can't say why, however this hasn't affected my opinion of the work.

Abbiamo confezionato per voi un volume da collezione riunendo racconti tematici di promettenti scrittori italiani dell'orrore.
Abbiamo impreziosito le storie con illustrazioni originali e articoli a tema sul mondo dell'orrore e della finzione, il tutto in una estetica vintage che onora le riviste pulp del 1900.
Questo primo volume, "Il mostro nello specchio" ha come tema l'orrore umano, tutto quello che si cela dietro gli orrori della mente e dei desideri che il cervello può partorire.

Sono molto emozionato di annunciarvi la pubblicazione di questo piccolo progetto, di questo che è stato un piccolo sogno per un gruppetto di appassionati e di grandi artisti.
Osservare e far parte del processo di produzione di questo libretto mi ha arricchito tantissimo e riempito di orgoglio e soddisfazione.

Spero davvero possa piacervi, vi assicuro che anche solo come oggettino non è niente male, un piccolo capolavoro da scoprire!

Ringrazio tutti i meravigliosi artisti che hanno preso parte e ringrazio tutti coloro che ci stanno inondando di proposte, la strada è lunga, siamo solo al primo numero!
