Originally published in 1925, Heart of a Dog by Russian author and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov, is a dark, fantastical satire of the failures inherent in the dream of a Communist utopia. When a respected surgeon decides to transplant human body parts into a stray dog, he creates a monster—drunken, profligate, aggressive, and selfish. It seems the worst aspects of the donor have been transplanted as well. As his previously well-regulated home descends into riotous chaos, the doctor realizes he will have to try to reverse the operation, but the dog isn’t so keen.

I've got 99 problems, and picking the wrong guy might be all of them. I've always had my royal checklist: Attend the Husband Hunting Ball? Check. Find the perfect match for a princess like me? Check. Feel zero sparks with Mr. Right (aka Enzo Revera)? Sadly, double check. But then I meet Marco, Enzo's charming and rugged brother. He's everything I shouldn't want, especially since I've planned my life to avoid the messiness of love. When a twist of fate puts Marco at my side, I can't deny our chemistry, even if he's all wrong for a princess like me.

For adults. This is a silly little book for Halloweenie times. It’s kitschy, fun and weird humor. Of course, there is gore and violence. For me, it is a satire of our favorite Halloween slasher movies where the villain is a crazy, stalking, relentless, weirdo-killer, dangerous, a little silly and strange. And just won’t die!

Il Marchese Del Grillo, altri dicono Duca Del Grillo, fu un gentiluomo romano, nato fra il 1730 e il 1740 e morto verso il 1800, cioè più di ottant’anni fa. Quantunque non mi sia riuscito di apprendere, per quante ricerche abbia fatto, il nome con cui egli fu battezzato, nè la data precisa della sua nascita, ho potuto verificare, dalle affermazioni recise dei suoi discendenti, che egli è un personaggio storico, vero, realmente esistito e che molte delle bizzarre avventure...
