Marco Milani.

E-writer and writer. Webmaster of DOMIST.net  

He was born in Como, May 5th 1964, and now lives in Stienta, in the province of Rovigo.

To me, writing is both an hobby and a physical need to put my thoughts into words. Since 1991, I have written horror, fantasy and science-fiction, in the form of novels, tales, short- and micro-stories. The genres I like the best, both as a reader and as a writer, are anomalous, horror and fantasy.
A long time ago, I wrote hundreds of poems, during the difficult time known as adolescence, like so many people do. Despite everything, every now and then I still write poetry. Over the years, I’ve also gone through a humoristic phase, characterized by comic tales, endless collections of witticisms and recreational phrasing. These things just happen. I love Tolkien, Asimov, Brooks, King, Barker and Lovecraft. Aside from fiction, I enjoy texts on ufology, mystery, spatial archaeology, parapsychology and alternative history. I am crazy for music, most of all for hard and metal and for the fabulous big rock groups that were famous a few years ago. Everything that is different, alternative, oriental or not so normal is part of what I like and who I am, so much so that I’ve become a martial arts teacher and a reikist.

It was more or less in March 2002, while surfing the net, that I came across a web-site dealing with the horror genre, ClubGHOST, a site where the editorial staff published the short-stories that were thought to be worthy. Something clicked and I immediately wondered: “could my stories be worthy?” The answer was positive. From that moment onwards I started looking over my works, to sum up over 10 years of writing activity and give it its logical consequence: publication. The time had come to do something.  October 2002: 11 short-stories are published on different web-sites, 2 on fanzines, 6 are published in an e-book. 4 web-sites say they are going to publish my works and 6 haven’t even replied. A second e-book is about to come out, 3 short-stories are to be published on different fanzines. I’m writing two novels and re-adjusting some short-stories. I start collaborating with Clubghost, Paginazero, Digitarte. I’ve gotten started and, just in case, I have created my own web-site. domn-mistic-on the horror, fantastic and sf site.

March 2003: 20 works on 21 different web-sites. I have published 2 e-books and a third is on its way. I collaborate with yet another literary magazine and a multimedia project. I’m working on 3 books: the two novels and the short-stories still come first, as you can’t do everything. DOMN-MISTIC-ON keeps going and growing, it has become a site of 'Literature and Peace' thanks to Peacelink and also Physicians without frontiers Medici Senza Frontiere (Physicians Without Frontiers) and Un altro mondo (Another world). On the net, I met several worthy people and I set up the project SITINSIEME, a single board that gathers various literary sites and that I hope will become something more. I also embark on the blog adventure of CYBERGOTH, together with Sandro Battisti.

June 1st 2003. DOMN-MISTIC-ON turns from a personal web-site into DOMIST.net – Literature and Peace. A “serious” site with an editorial staff, a domain with unlimited space, and ideas to be developed. Somebody (S.B.) has defined it portal… and Amani for Africa is on our side too. September 2003: I start collaborating with  PROGETTO BABELE and ZONA D is born, a scheduled appointment on the magazine with short-stories and essays edited by DOMIST.net.
January 2004, the INTERNATIONAL LITERARY PROJECT starts up; it is the first mad idea, which will become something important. Authors translating each other’s work interrelated web sites, literature collaborations, and peace literature concerning even immigration themes, everything in a huge self managed and completely no profit environment.

23 February 2004. At last the debut on paper, the first book has been realized; hoping it won’t be the last. Sognando e Dintorni (Dreaming and Surroundings) published by Prospettiva  Editrice it is a collection of 10 novels concerning fantasy and SF and even a “useful” book, that is speaking about “Literature and Peace  in association with Peacelink: all the rights will support Amani for Africa in order to help the Kivuli center. Meanwhile two important associations were started: KAOSKULTURE and LANKELOT.
March 2004. As co-establisher and vice-president I have realized an old idea of mine: a cultural association regarding the main theme “Peace”. IL FIUME, affiliated with Libera contro le mafie (free against mafia) and Peacelink and in local coordination with different realities such as Emergency and Festival dei Popoli. In short here is the art.3 of our statute “The association’s aim is: to pursue aims of social solidarity, cultural promotion, civil rights tutelage and statement of peace as universal value.

January 2005. It’s the moment of “Connectivism”, a cyber-futuristic literary movement originated  from the collaboration with two other science-fiction and cyberpunk authors: Sandro Battisti and Giovanni De Matteo. After the “Connectivism” manifesto, in April, there comes out the first number of the related magazine: NeXT.
May 2005. Within the organization, he takes part in LIBROMENTE, the first book fair in Rovigo.
August 2005. HSF is his second book. A collection of 13 horror and fanta-horror short stories, again published by Prospettiva Editrice.
December 2005. Together with Alda Teodorani, he co-ordinates the short stories collection NOIR NO WAR, within a DOMIST.net project in favour of Emergency. The NeXT magazine has reached its third published number, with surprising results.

2006 - 2007 - 2008. Before... before... before... J J J
