What Do You Think About It?
Dear Goodreaders,
I know it may seem immodest, but I received some excellent reviews in Italy for my trilogy of Dr. Carelli (see below).
But the real question is: what do you think of my books? Because it’s your opinion that matters the most to me.
Have you already read them or are you curious and they will be in your “Want to Read” shelf soon? Do you like books that "mix" genres? What do you think of the plot and characters in my novels?
Please let me know your opinions and write your reviews here, on Goodreads, or on Amazon.
Of course, I will be more than happy to answer your questions and know what are your favorite literary genres.
See you soon and good reading to all!

“Kaleidoscopic, ironic, cult, cinephile without haughtiness, astonishing novel by Marcello Garofalo, ‘The Sizzling Nights of the Diabolical Dr. Carelli’ is like a graphic novel married to a novel, a B-Movie on paper (…) Reading the book, you’ll surf between many movie genres, often on the borderline, without never being 'caged' in any of them and you’ll laugh a lot, recognizing quotes, some more evident than others”.
Erica Arosio, www.signoresidiventa.com
“Garofalo hits the gas pedal of hyper-cinephilia: politically incorrect language, fluid sexuality, increasingly labyrinthine back-stories, hypertrophic depictions of ‘realism’ typical of gonzo journalism, spasmodic expectations worthy of Sergio Leone’s cinema that demonstrate reality does not exist but is the perfect nemesis of writing”.
Domenico Monetti, “Blow Up # 272”, January 2021
“Garofalo, as he has already demonstrated in the two previous books of the saga, returns with his irreverent and refined writing, capable of mixing high and low culture with abundant camp references with surgical precision in each and every rich cinephilic and singing quotation, sometimes deliberately distorted in an intriguing way. From Joel Schumacher to Sergio Leone, from Dolly Parton to the indispensable Dario Argento. Fantasy horror, but not only, because the genres flow between comedy, adventure, neo-noir, love story, and splatter; a waltz that juggles post-postmodernism à la Tarantino and the werewolves of John Landis and Joe Dante.
An excellent Christmas gift for those who enjoy diving into an apparently plausible world (the geographical-urban references are precise and detailed) only to find themselves on a completely opposite path accompanied by some very bizarre characters, freaks if we will, right up to the end where they share an amusing toast that could easily stand as the motto for the entire trilogy (…)”
