A Pleased Nightmare (Ita & Eng)

[Book for Italian and English Readers]

Ethan Alfred Butch era un assassino.
Freddo e brutale, non aveva esitato a sterminare la sua famiglia in un attimo di follia, un attimo che aveva sconvolto la sua esistenza, già compromessa e fragile.
Da quella notte orribile, erano passati otto anni, e nessuno sembrava essersi accorto che un uomo camminava sotto il sole con le mani sporche di sangue. L'unica persona a saperlo era l'enigmatico Dr. Augustus Adler. Ethan aveva confidato a lui tutti i suoi segreti e le sue paure.
Eppure, nonostante una vita vissuta a metà tra l'indifferenza e il disgusto per l'omicidio commesso, una parte della sua mente continuava a cercare la verità: perchè li aveva uccisi? Perchè aveva fatto a pezzi i suoi cari? Era stato davvero solo un raptus momentaneo?

La sua esistenza era un incubo, e lui aveva creato quell'incubo?
Ethan Alfred Butch era un assassino, ma un assassino inconsapevole.

Ethan Alfred Butch was a killer.
Cold and brutal, he had not hesitated to exterminate his family in a moment of madness, a moment that had upset his already compromised and fragile existence.
Eight years had passed since that horrible night, and no one seemed to have noticed that a man was walking under the sun with blood on his hands. The only person who knew was the enigmatic Dr. Augustus Adler. Ethan had confided all his secrets and fears to him.
Yet, despite a life lived halfway between indifference and disgust for the murder committed, a part of his mind continued to search for the truth: why had he killed them? Why had he torn his loved ones to pieces? Was it really just a momentary rush?

Was his existence a nightmare, and he had created that nightmare?
Ethan Alfred Butch was a killer, but an unwitting killer.
