Emma thought death was the end, but it was only the beginning.
Through the advancement of nineteenth century science, Emma has been brought back to life, but not as she was. She has become a new person, created from the sewn remains of the dead. Emma awakens in a strange new world that she doesn't understand. The life she left behind still echoes within her, though no matter how she reaches for it, the memories slip away.
Yet another force hides in the shadows, and threatens to throw Germany into war. Emma's newly found world begins to crumble, and she must soon decide whether she wishes to begin her life anew or continue with the life she left behind--and whether she belongs in the world of the living or the dead.

Anoxia
Xylia has always teetered between madness and prophecy. For years she's dreamed events before they happen a gift that's left her paranoid, unstable, alone. In a world where consciousness is a bug and gods are algorithms with ego problems, Xylia will learn that reality isn't meant to be understood. It's meant to be rewritten. Here, divination is a sentence. And knowing the truth... is the first step to losing yourself. ✒️✦ This isn't a book. It's a gradual collapse. You won't find maps. You'll find glitches. Not heroes. Fractures. Not worldbuilding. But worlds that come apart while you watch. Xylia is a contaminated consciousness. She overthinks. She mis-feels. She fixates on details no one else sees. That doesn't make her wrong. It makes her real. If you feel lost, good. If you feel unsettled, stay. In this world, coherence is a lie. And breath... is something you learn only when it's gone. Welcome to Anoxia. The first 5 chapters in English are now up! Next batch (chapters 6-10) coming this Friday. This is an ongoing self-translation project - raw, glitchy, and deeply personal. Thanks for reading, bleeding, and glitching with me. 🖤 I'm Italian and I'm translating my novel myself-so if you spot errors or phrases that could be smoother in English, please tell me. You'd be helping me immensely! 👁️ Read Anossia and tell me what crosses your mind. Your comments are the heart of this project.
Undead Doll
Freya wasn't supposed to live past fifteen. Sick, forgotten, and confined to a sterile hospital room, she had already resigned herself to dying, until the night her doctor turned into a predator and she became a killer. But death, it seems, no longer has a hold on her. Waking up in the home of the enigmatic Dr. Mikhail Vasiliev, Freya discovers that the price of survival is much higher than she imagined. Cursed by hunger, bound to the man who remade her, she must navigate a world of shadows and desires where blood is both food and sin. As her humanity crumbles and her new power lures her into darkness, Freya faces an impossible choice: surrender to the monster she has become, or forge her own path through the cold embrace of immortality. Seductive, violent, and heartbreakingly intimate, Undead Doll is a gothic descent into obsession, power, and the fragile line between victim and predator.
Of Ruin And Ravenous Things ✓
Death chose Seraphine Valen long before she ever had the chance to choose herself. At eighteen, she stands ankle-deep in the aftermath of a life erased-everyone she has ever loved reduced to silence and ruin around her. From that blood-soaked silence, she rises carrying something no mortal was ever meant to inherit: dominion over death itself. One touch ends a life. One thought bends annihilation to her will. And deep inside her, something dark has finally awakened... and it is starving. Her power does not go unnoticed. The Banes come first-nightmare-born creatures drawn to her like vultures to a dying world, desperate to claim the weapon she has become. As civilization fractures and reality begins to rot at the edges, Seraphine is forced to flee into something far worse than the world she left behind. Death's Castle. An ancient, shifting labyrinth where the walls remember every soul that has ever screamed within them. There, in the cold shadow of eternity, she finds she is not alone. A diviner who reads fate as it unravels thread by thread. A war-vampire, addicted to bloodshed as much as battle. And a brute whose silence hides a loyalty strong enough to crack bone. Together, they form an uneasy alliance-bound not by trust, but by survival. But Seraphine's awakening is only the beginning. As buried truths about her bloodline rise to the surface, she discovers a legacy stitched from both darkness and light-something older than kingdoms, older than gods, older even than death itself. And in the void beyond all things... something has been waiting for her.Complete
