Lorenza Ghinelli is the new name of fiction: his first novel "devourer", published by Newton Compton (pp. 256, € 9.90) is giving a hard time with books and writers of repute: for the publisher, his literary debut is the most important part of this beginning of the year.

When it's just to win the disturbing terror invents rhymes. He has just one friend, who calls himself "Field of Dreams", a cruel old, scruffy, with a stick in his hand that revenge Denny, if someone tries to harm him.
And then there's the 14 year old Peter, a geek with the gift of brilliant design, the only eyewitness to the disappearance of aberrant few kids that reproduces what he sees, but unfortunately no one believes him, no one but her professional educator, Alice, to which those drawings Lolghi sleep and fall into the nightmare, remember something that long before had tried to remove.

"The Devourer" I wrote between 2006 and 2007, but the figure of the Devourer haunted me since I was a child. Let's say that for me it was time to get rid of, and to do so I had to face up to the end writing this book. Now I can go ahead and tell new stories.
What your nightmare or your anxiety texture gives body and texture?
