Beschreibung

The Checked Moon is a novel as black as the fingernails of a dead man and as scented as a flower. The protagonist is Alida, a woman suffering from a disease dating back to the cultures of middle-ages Europe. Alida is a werewolf and is married to a man suffering from the same disease, the lawyer Luca Menozzatti. They lead a peaceful life until Luca, in full metamorphosis, is killed by Manuel Bracconieri. What happens to a werewolf after death? He reverts back to human, so the police can only arrest Bracconieri for murder, not knowing that the wolf has wounded and infected him. Will Alida be able to prevent the murderer of her husband to transform inside the prison at next full moon? Is there a cure for the disease enslaving her? Is it love? Love is called Riccardo. A normal man, far from the horrors to which Alida is accustomed. But what is normality in a city, Rome, where murderers walk along the street and monsters lock themselves in their houses to protect others from themselves?

"Do not fight the monsters!" "Why monsters? When a blind man, an idiot, a murderer is born, this seems to us disorder, as if order was known to us, as though Nature acted for an end!" (Gustave Flaubert,Bouvard et Pecuchet)

I'm a Howlin' Wolf

I've been Howlin' all 'round your door

I'm a Howlin' Wolf

I've been Howlin' all 'round your door

I see your smilin' face

You will not hear me howl no more

(Muddy Waters,Howlin' Wolf)

To my father

The checked Moon

White. At last the room would be white again. Police investigations had not proved anything, and even if forensics did not explain the cause of the grooves on the wall, the case was closed as a suicide.

She was no longer in any danger, still she did not feel like calling the painter.

No one should enter the room. Not yet, at least. She would do that alone. She was accustomed to doing things alone. She had arranged everything she needed on the floor: old sheets, newspapers, rollers, brushes and paint cans.

White.

She loved white.

A ladder. To reach the ceiling.

There were stains as high as twelve feet, but it was nothing compared to the walls. It did not look like blood anymore, it was so dark and clotted.

She smiled.

Usually, things start from the bottom. A career starts from the bottom, a skyscraper is built from the bottom, she too had started from the bottom, a very low bottom, but a room must be whitewashed from the top.

And that's where she started.

The roller was swallowed by the paint with a thick gurgle and she thought they had all come to the same end.

They were all gone.

The only thing that mattered now was restoring the room to its natural white.

Because white does not ask questions.

White would cover the stains.

Then she had to take care of the bars. Certainly she could not take them off by herself.
