Whitechapel Rhapsody reviewed by Anton Cancre on Cemetery Dance

Foto My latest dark poetry collection WHITECHAPEL RHAPSODY reviewed by Anton Cancre on Cemetery Dance. 
From the review: (...) And damn if it isn’t beautiful, in its own dark and terrifying way. Manzetti can turn a phrase like nobody’s business, then make it pirouette before doing a triple Lindey and sticking the landing like a scalpel lodging in your breastbone. (...).

'Joy of Life' reprinted in Worlds of Light and Darkness Anthology

Foto For sale at Amazon WORLDS OF LIGHT & DARKNESS (The Best of DreamForge and Space & Time Book 1), edited by Angela Yuriko Smith & Scot Noel, including my story 'Joy of Life'. 

A haunted father who discovers a place where incomplete things—and people—are made whole. A mischievous satyr who hatches a plan to set loose chaos on a global scale. A workaholic witch in search of her kitty companion. Invasive technology to rewrite the human brain. Dragon slayers. Zombies. Time travelers. Ice skaters.
These twenty short stories stretch across multiple universes and beyond death—and yet, they remain intimate, personal, emotional. They demonstrate the strength of the human spirit to find hope and seek a better tomorrow in even the darkest times.
A selection of the best speculative fiction from DreamForge and Space & Time literary magazines, these are the stories we need today as we struggle through a pandemic, divisive politics, rampant misinformation, a belligerent defiance of facts and science, and new technologies that are already spiraling beyond our control.
