The Spiral

Every fairy tale needs a devil willing to make a deal, and Rome's most desperate mother is about to meet hers. One stormy night, Anna turns up unannounced at her adult daughter's apartment with a confession she has clearly been carrying for far too long. What follows unfolds across four chapters, each darker than the last, tracing how one desperate bargain in a hospital chapel – struck with an enigmatic stranger in a trench coat, – set off a chain of misfortunes engineered by Anna's own hand.
