I was no longer afraid of going into prison.
I was afraid of not getting out.

Gargoyle, Editor: Sensibili alle Foglie, 2026 (Italian Edition)

Alfredo Vassalluzzo

Gargoyle: Cellanti.

For miles, its wings dominate the landscape. And for miles beyond its gates, you remain within range. There is no escape. No detours. The road is the same in both directions: either you are moving toward it or away from it. The prison is a magnet. It pulls you in, and there is no resisting it. The moment you feel it pushing you away is the very moment it has already drawn you closer. You cannot leave, because every instinct tells you to run.

"Gargoyle": A Debut Novel That Challenges Prejudice and Gives Voice to the Silence of Prison

Il Mattino - January 26, 2026

Once they have served their sentences, what chance will those men—forever marked as former inmates—have to rebuild their lives in society?
Who will be willing to give them that chance?
For now, Vassalluzzo has given them something just as important: a voice.
And what a powerful voice it is.

MetroToday - February 9, 2026

"A literary act of resistance that takes on tenderly joyful overtones and brings the reader closer to an ignored world, rediscovering humanity behind bars."

Il Messaggero - January 23, 2026

The author delves into the mechanisms of incarceration and the complexities of the human soul through a novel that is, at times, humorous and ironic. This approach brings unexpected light to a world so harsh that most people would rather forget it.
