Satiric Horror Sette + Una

Eight interlinked short stories unfold in an Italian apartment building, connected by a concierge and at least one common victim. Each tale blends thriller, horror, and dark satire, exploring bizarre, extreme, and paradoxical situations through the eyes of the building’s eccentric residents. Several stories feature LGBTQ+ elements, including lesbian love and veiled homosexuality, woven naturally into the suspenseful, often improbable narratives.
