Title: The wax figure

Author: Richard D'Anna

Publisher: Gargoyle

Pages: 200

Plot

London 1958 A series of grisly murders prelude to the reopening of cases solved, perhaps only in appearance, full of unexpected and worrying development. The disappearance from the tomb of a marquise disgrace, recently deceased - woman of unquestionable charm, muse of Gabriele d'Annunzio, fond of occult and brilliant interpreter of the rites of the Belle Epoque - moves the protagonists in a race against time, in search of his cast of wax from which she could riattingere life. After meeting with Peggy Guggenheim in Venice, our will be forced to go in Berlin, a city that still shows the scars of war and where the last surviving remnants of those secret societies that were related to the conditions and dark magic to the origins of Nazism.

REVIEW AND THOUGHT

This novel is a real race through various European cities.

Tuttoha start with unusual cases of suicide and the discovery that in the tomb of the Marchesa LucreziaD'Ateleta Montevago is not the woman's body, but so far ilcadavere of a dog.

Thus begins laricerca by the three protagonists Anthony Seymour, John Tyrrel ePiers Clarence (already encountered in the novel by Simon Raven "Ilmorso neck"), the wax figure

Questosimulacro is nothing but the representation of the Marchesa Lucrezia D'Ateleta, which obsessed with beauty and immortality if the mold was made of it by donating to poterimistici.

The narrative is not just a fantastic reworking of an idea of \u200b\u200bthe "Secret Book" by Gabriele D'Annunzio, but it is also a sphere divetro that brings us to the rediscovery in European cities diavvenimenti historical importance.

Ciritroviamo in Berlin marked the second post-war still divided by the wall, and meet great people passatocome of Gabriele D'Annunzio and Peggy Guggenheim, but there's more! Loscrittore develops fully human relationships in a sphere of affection,

of private values \u200b\u200band newspapers.

Ilpersonaggio Anthony even if not the most brilliant is the voice throughout the story goes stealthily with his vision deifatti, making them accessible to all.

lafigura of Lucretia, even if it is almost absent caratteristicheinsolite spiritual entity that make it indecipherable.

However, the fears and feelings of restlessness of the characters is felt constantly throughout the story ....

... ... "Maybe I should go for a while. Since I've told this story, I'm afraid that strange things can happen." ... ...

Descrittoin a detailed, compelling and flowing.
The only sore point of the novel (which I personally do not believe me) is the addition of notes at the end of chapter, which distracts the reader and sometimes they lose the thread of the story.

Unromanzo not to be taken lightly and that takes the reader page after page of outstanding domestic workers.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...


Since "A postmodern literary burlesque."
(...) with novels such as The wax figure (and as I'm cold and Techniques resurrection of Gianfranco Manfredi), we realize that Italy is not only the ideal setting for Gothic novels written by foreign authors, but that there is a very special Italian Gothic, which feeds on various influences (from horror Victorian to mystery, to the postmodern).


... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Well now we come to a really interesting ......

I have the pleasure of hosting us here today with Richard D'Anna

CiaoRiccardo, welcome to our blog: At the end of the dream.

Sonomolto happy to have you as a host.

1.Iniziamocon presentations: Who is Richard D'Anna?

Acosta of being repetitive, I would tell you that I like to think of myself as unoscrittore inventing the world from a terrace on the outskirts diRoma. One day, when he was seven, my son Nicholas, was suquella terrace and asked me: "I can say a bad word?". And I said, "Please." "I think in these books you write, you say a lot of crap ...." I'm afraid that my criticomigliore.

2.Qualisono favorite authors and what are the genres you love most?

Comincereicol tell you what I do not like: the commodification of literature, bestsellers announced the rankings as a selection criterion. A book-Flaiano said - is the only inanimate object that can averesogni ... I read everything, no holds barred, provided that they leave dilibri track, which does not evaporate after reading them. Glielenchi are boring and always incomplete: apart from the "classic" among the favorites cite Julien Green, JohnBanville, Andrei Makine, Yoko Ogawa, Don DeLillo, among italianiinvece Claudio Magris, Gesualdo Bufalino and Anna Maria Ortese.

3.Raccontaciin your short novel "The wax figure"

Credosi whether a sui generis horror: I mean moltomeno is a horror, but hopefully something more ... A horror èsempre a place in which we deal with good and bad: the story diun'epidemia, an infection or something that kicks back ... One way to understand before a coffin empty, as we aesorcizzare our ghosts.

4.Unadelle things I immediately obvious is the inspiration aSherlock Holmes: what role he played in the drafting of the story?

decisive factor, though I think the structure: much less about the style. Doyleè Conan was one of my first readings, including those that remain invaligia the journey of life. Perhaps it was inevitable that before opoi, had to confront a sacred monster ... If considerol'universalità a character like Holmes, yours is the most I could belcomplimento receive ...

5.Comemai've decided to try the "after" of the novel Ilmorso neck ?

Cioce struck me most of the novel is that Raven was not inrealtà a true horror: the horror element is used perf explode from within the academic structures and solid middle-class English dellasocietà period. In my case the barrel is lastessa, but the wine changes: it was facing the company's boom , considered in its dawning stage, but that has yet to make the ghosts of the past ... icont

6.Atratti your work becomes more like a historical inquiry, comemai the decision to give such a thorough documentation?

Unadocumentazione accurate as possible is always the base deimiei books: it is a form of respect for the reader, It is very closer to what you think ... Just one example: if devofar fly a plane between London and Venice in 1958, I know this is chemodello, as the journey lasted, they were made and gliaeroporti To what extent was different than flying AirBus dioggi.

7.Com 'summer work with the publisher Gargoyle?

Lavorarecon publishers involved makes it not too big: size favoriscel'intesa and a "craft" of work (usol'aggettivo in the noblest sense) that makes the realization delromanzo as a pleasant boat trip, where all rows nellastessa direction.

8. Edeccoci down to the last question ... Plans for the future?

deep in the alley I see fifty years ... and the future is not piùquello than once. I'd settle for us to publish the novels in my drawer. But do not rule out ... kind of confrontation with

Tiringrazio so much for your time your time. Vuoiaggiungere something before we say goodbye?

Iolanda Massa co-author of the novel, also a writer emerging.

A. ... I forgot to tell you that soon we will have visitors to the authors, the novel, in the blog: D

Review and Thought:

This novel is an event Bible on the three days of darkness.

The seals are open, the demons are coming and the world is about to change.

The heroine Anna is a normal girl, with a unique look to have a family, which unfortunately will be disintegrated almost immediately by the loss of her husband.

After the incident the girl starts having strange visions, much to think of suffering

dual identity .

The events that follow will be very irritating for its existence from the dreams!

As always, all say not to be influenced by the covers and luckily I did not.

This novel can be read all in one breath the story is very moving, there is no respite and port the reader in a world of dark superstition

anxieties and fears.

The darkness surrounds you, gets inside of you until the last drop of your blood .

The characters can have you experience the sensations of anxiety that each of us could have a catastrophe on this scale.

The finish does not close completely and leaves the door open for any more ....

In conclusion, you know what I say ..... Read this!!
