Desire & Sons
'The sign in the window reads “Ghosts--Bought & Sold.” Surely the proprietor of this curio shop is joking; but the narrator soon discovers that the owner is far more serious than he could ever have expected.'

\"Desire & Sons\" is my translation of Nicola Lombardi's short fiction \"I Desideri.\" The translation has never been published, and Mr. Lombardi has authorized me to translate his fictions and seek publication for them.
Here is a brief bio:
After thirty years of writing--3 novels, six collections, one film adaptation, multiple translations from the English--Lombardi is considered a master of the horror genre in Italy (his website can be found here:at www.nicolalombardi.com). His first collection in English, The Gypsy Spiders and Other Tales of Italian Horror, was published by UK's Tartarus Press in Dec. 2021.
