The Spirits of the Tsunami

Horror

Mystery

“Certain things happen on the tv, at most online, never for real. Never to you.”

Andrea and Marco. Two brothers separated by a tragedy. After the tsunami, Marco’s spirit remains trapped on Earth. How can Andrea help him reach the afterlife? Why is someone tarnishing his memory? No one knows the truth nor can explain what happened. There’s only one thing for certain: if he doesn’t hurry up and help him, Marco will become a spirit of resentment. And there will be nothing more to be done. Andrea can’t let that happen.

A mystery about the difficulty of grieving and making sense of things.
A book about acceptance, discovering light in moments of intense darkness, connections with the world that surrounds us, and words entrusted to the wind.

He started telling stories as a teenager—to his mother—every time he came home late without letting her know. Over time, he turned it into a profession. He made his debut with the novel Grande, which won the Legenda Junior Prize. With Fino all’ultima #challenge (Lapis Edizioni), he was a finalist for the 2024 Bancarellino Prize.
