Dellamorte Dellamore by Tiziano Sclavi
A darkly comic, surreal tale centered on Francesco Dellamorte, the caretaker of a small Italian cemetery where the dead periodically rise and must be dispatched; alongside his odd assistant he navigates absurd, violent encounters while grappling with obsession, loneliness and a volatile love affair. Blending horror, black humor and eroticism, the story probes the porous boundary between life and death and leaves the reader unsure whether events are truly supernatural or the product of a fractured mind, producing a bleakly ironic, hallucinatory meditation on love, mortality and provincial decay.
