I write from the Valencian Country. I write horror in Catalan/Valencian and in English: worm-eaten theology, ritual dread, tenderness with teeth. No comfort, no redemption. I’m interested in prayers that misfire, bodies that keep the minutes of pain, and faith when nothing divine is on the line.
You’ll find short fiction, poems, and fragments from longer works. The voice is dry and exact; images stay clean; blood is a tool, not decoration. I prefer the quiet after the cut to the scream.
Two tracks run in parallel:
— pieces in Catalan/Valencian about the contaminated domestic (bed, shower, kitchen) and the sacred gone wrong;
— English versions that keep the blade and lose none of the bone. Nor the Mediterranean soul.
