A man who likes the police too much, another who has trouble moving the body, and a boy who thinks that a game of football is a matter of life or death—mostly death.
Kfir Luzzatto writes high-concept science fiction and thrillers that blend cutting-edge science with gripping human stakes. He is the author of eighteen novels and seven non-fiction books, including the award-winning PARALLELS, which received First Place in the 2025 Incipere Awards, and his debut, Crossing the Meadow, voted Best Horror Novel in the 2003 Preditors & Editors Readers Poll.
Kfir has been an active contributor to the speculative fiction community, serving on the editorial board of The Harrow Press as Anthology Editor until 2014, where he edited and co-edited four horror anthologies.
Born and raised in Italy, he moved to Israel as a teenager and developed a deep connection to the English language through his father, a former U.S. Army veteran, writer, and passionate reader. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and works as a patent attorney, bringing a strong scientific foundation to the high-concept ideas explored in his fiction.
In addition to his writing, Kfir is a certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, reflecting his long-standing interest in the workings of the mind, perception, and the boundaries between reality and imagination—themes that frequently shape his stories.
He is a member of the Horror Writers Association and International Thriller Writers.
The author very effectively used these three short stories to teach a lesson of some kind: don't spend your whole life at work to the point that you neglect those who are important to you, don't spoil your children by teaching them there is always a way to get what you want (by any means necessary), and do not make rash decisions which will lead you to a life of regret, as you will be haunted by them.
