Delenda Carthago. Not your usual read.

A European author of speculative fiction that moves across genres without settling neatly into any of them. His work blends dark satire, an allegorical edge, and idea-driven narratives where characters are pushed through strangely familiar systems.

He builds stories on compression and ambiguity, leaving space for readers to complete what remains unsaid. They reward careful attention.

For adult readers interested in uncomfortable questions rather than easy answers. For those who enjoy connecting the dots.

Not for readers seeking comfort reading, familiar formulas, or recycled story promises with different names.

To get in the right mood and writing flow, I'm revisiting Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Do you think these three books, combined with my creativity, will tickle your curiosity?(less)

Among them are letters from an ancestor who was a traveling missionary in the late 1800s. He traveled alone with his horse and covered wagon across Canada, meeting and interacting with American Indians. His letters home to Europe detailed their habits and cultures, offering glimpses into his unique and adventurous journey.(less)

Nature Against by Delenda Carthago
"It's often the case that tales of fantasy and future become overwritten; soggy and leaden under their own ambition. But, if Nature Against has any issues they’re quite the reverse, because this book is a reptile; lithe and tricksy and completely unco" Read more of this review »

Nature Against by Delenda Carthago
"This book had me hooked from the very first page. It is gloriously funny and yet, when stripped of its comical and often bizarre surface, it holds up a mirror to our modern times with unsettling clarity. Nowhere is this better illustrated than when t" Read more of this review »

“A conspiratorial biter, finding no rival nearby, relentlessly gnawed at their own forearm.
(From: The Jar of Dragonflies)”
Delenda Carthago, Incredible Stories at the Bus Stop: A Flash Fiction Collection on Human Experience

“All became the same, indistinguishable: mediocrely skilled, lovers of the same things, and dreamers of the same desire. No one would have suffered from another’s talent, endured detestable individualities, or been endangered by embarrassing diversities. While no one would have been happier anymore, nobody would have had to question their beliefs.
(From: Hyperuranium)”
Delenda Carthago, Incredible Stories at the Bus Stop: A Flash Fiction Collection on Human Experience

“As I watched the new couple settle into the apartment, I wondered if they, too, would one day take in a stranger in need, continuing the cycle of kindness that had carried us this far.
(From: Those Little Things)”

in autumn
on branches
the leaves”
