WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
Does the darkness that lies within us measure?
The Acid publications are pleased to present the new book by the up-and-coming Greek horror writer Giorgos Messolongitis "When I Close My Eyes".
The first horror book by a Greek author published by Oxy publications is now a reality and they had a good reason to do so, the pen and imagination of Giorgos Messolongitis.
Seven stories, seven dreams, seven nightmarish realities. Through the pages of the book you will meet like old friends, the things that kept you awake at night (and still do). Because when you do, that's where you are: in hell.
When I Close My Eyes, a young woman uncovers the chaos of Athens; a woman runs away from loss; a group discovers the hell unleashed by intolerance; a man, overcome by his fear, faces the abyss; a communication code becomes a man's weapon against the mafia; an incomprehensible resurrection takes place; an elevator-purgatory in the center of Athens feeds on hatred.
"Against stylized horror, he appears as an inventive writer, with a wild pen, an exuberant craftsman of stories who, like a magician with infinite tricks, drags him into a dark bottom full of surprises."

Author Biography:
Giorgos Messolongitis started timidly at the age of 15 to string together a few sentences when he returned home from school. Situations, places and persons of his imagination took shape on paper. Many years have passed since then. Specifically seventeen, since the publication of his first book: "The Revenge of Jason Lemoniatis" (published by Rising Star, 2015). Two more awards and participations in collections followed.
Besides writing, he is also involved in music. In 2017, the special soundtrack "Martin Hellwood" was released. You will find it on Spotify.
He is currently writing for future projects, while working in a bookstore and avidly collecting (hard to find) books. You will also find him entertaining you on his site, Sor.gr

Very satisfying stories despite its small size. The stories of harassment in the workplace, of haunted houses in the years of youtube and of haunted people who make mistakes over and over again. Suggested…
