Welcome to my latest literary journey, “Shadows and Dreams”. I'm Luca Guido Zambrelli, and if "Sapient" marked my debut in the world of science fiction, this collection represents my exploration of the labyrinthine territories of horror and mystery, all under the sign of an unbridled imagination.

After the experience with “Sapient”, I found myself navigating a sea of ​​ideas and concepts, floating between existential questions and the infinite possibilities of fantasy. “Shadows and Dreams” was born from these reflections, nine stories in which I dyed my pen in the ink of the wonderful and the unexpected, to lead you to the edge of reality and beyond.

In “SYNC”, I invite you to immerse yourself in a journey into the depths of consciousness, a labyrinth where the human and the artificial dance in an indistinguishable embrace. “Memory” it is the story that challenges the terror of oblivion, a theme that has always fascinated and disturbed me, born from those small, tiny daily amnesias that push us to ask ourselves: what would happen if we forgot who we are?

In history “No gravity”, I take you to a future where humanity is shocked by an unprecedented phenomenon that overturns the fundamental law that keeps us anchored to our planet. And in “2051, Revenge”, you will face the consequences of a technology that has escaped human control, in a future that may not be so far from our reality.

My search is not only for pure entertainment, but also for introspection, a journey into the depths of the soul where you might discover something about yourself. “The House" e "The book" they are a tribute to my encounter with Lovecraft's "The Terrible Old Man", that afternoon which left an indelible mark on my authorial spirit.

With “The Eyes of Death”, I ventured into a narrative that challenges the very conception of life and time, while “Radio Shock” written together with Sara Tamponi it will drag you into a thriller where the past and the future meet in unexpected ways.

The writing of “Shadows and Dreams” it was a cathartic experience. I faced my fears, I navigated through my dreams, and I tried to bring it all back into the fabric of my stories. I share these narratives with you with the hope that you may find a piece of magic, a fragment of mystery, and perhaps a touch of that eternal question about our existence.
