I have just found your blog and I'm shocked about your outstanding writing skills! Do you happen to have writen about deaths by (slowly) stabbing (well, is ok if it doesn't end in death lol)? And do you still write nowadays?
Thank you for the kind compliments! I am still writing, producing a story or two per year. I can't remember writing any death-by-slow-stabbing stories, or even any non-lethal stabbing stories. "Cascina del Benessere" does have a stabbing scene, but it's far from central to the plot.
For most of my stories, death isn't the goal. In fact, death almost represents a failure on the part of the torturer. A dead body feels no pain, after all, and since pain is the point for me, then the victim dying inconveniently early really gets in the way of that.
(Speaking about fiction only here. In real life I'm actually a pretty nice guy who would never actually do the stuff I write about.)
I see your point, I meant in the edge of death I find something special in a sharped tool cutting into flesh while the victim moans (and I speak about fiction too hahaha :P)
I just had to read this one after a certain email exchange. In addition to the intelligence and creativity I've found in the stories I've read so far, this excellent story has impressive psychological aspects that are a bit different from the others. I don't want to add spoilers by saying too much!
