FIFTEEN STEPS TO ABYSS

Short stories that will take your breath away. Confessions of damned souls flirting with madness. Haunted houses, terrifying icons of lost civilizations, curses, bottomless wells with ancient secrets, nightmares and all this within a framework of "romantic horror", with amazing descriptions and philosophical implications. Stories plucked from the darkness of the 19th century with ''Lovecraftian'' beauty and ''Poestrian'' insanity.

The reader is immersed in a gothic universe of primordial secrets, while marveling at the questions of life and death posed by the author, artfully philosophizing. Elsewhere the agony and the gradual descent into madness, and elsewhere the allusive horror that lingers, fascinate and captivate.
