I'm a writer with a deep-rooted passion for storytelling that extends far beyond the advertising world. My expertise lies in speculative fiction, with a particular focus on horror and suspense. Authoring isn't just a pastime for me; it's a dedicated profession. I'm currently represented by Três Pontos literary agency, with Dante Luiz as my agent, and have over 20 published works across various traditional and indie publishers.
A curated selection of my works is listed below, along with links to where you can find them. (The full catalog is available on the "About" page.)
Xuxa Preta
A name whispered in hushed tones, a legend that chills the very air: Xuxa Preta haunts the streets of Feira de Santana. The origins of this terrifying figure are lost to time, as is the fate of her first victim. But one thing is certain: the entire population of Feira de Santana lives under the shadow of Xuxa Preta, a woman whose presence disturbs the peace of the city. Whether in the hallowed halls of schools, the opulent confines of luxury condominiums, or the gritty reality of construction sites, fear of Xuxa Preta lurks in every heart. Now, prepare to hear her stories.
Comprising four haunting narratives, Xuxa Preta unveils a sertãopunk Feira de Santana, where the lives of both ordinary citizens and the privileged few are plagued by personal ghosts and the harsh realities of social injustice, all interwoven with the dread instilled by Bahia's most infamous outlaw.

The routledge handbook of cofuturism
The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms offers a groundbreaking and inclusive perspective on science fiction, encompassing everything from meticulous analyses of individual texts to explorations of large-scale movements. It provides readers with decolonized models of the future, addressing critical issues of print, media, race, gender, and social justice.
This comprehensive view of the field explores representations of possible futures arising from non-Western cultures and ethnic histories, challenging the dominance of the "imperial gaze." Organized into four parts, The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms considers the emergence of the future from marginalized perspectives, foregrounding the concerns of indigenous groups, racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities, and all individuals whose stake in the global vision of the future is often limited by the structures of our contemporary world.
Expanding current discussions in the field, the book examines cutting-edge developments in science fiction and various futurisms as a whole. Offering a dynamic blend of approaches and broad perspectives, this volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers seeking to shape their own interventions in broader contexts.

La Mazka
On a birthday journey to France, young Sadala finds himself caught in a surreal and unsettling spectacle at a futuristic circus, an event that irrevocably alters the course of his life and art. La Mazka, a prequel to the captivating tale Abrakadabra, explores the story of an artist transformed by the world around him, masterfully weaving together elements of sertãopunk with psychedelic horror, where the line between reality and nightmare blurs, and the everyday becomes as terrifying as any circus performer.

Abrakadabra
In a society where individuals mask their vulnerabilities behind elaborate facades, art emerges as a vital instrument, exposing the deceptive layers that conceal our authentic selves. Beto, an average individual, participates in a mind-bending virtual reality experience at the Museum of Modern Art in Salvador: Abrakadabra, a creation by a Syrian-Brazilian artist rooted in a harrowing experience within a circus.
Immersed in a disorienting blend of technology, hallucinations, and uncanny beings, Beto gains profound insights into his own psyche and grapples with the forces that compel us to fear the anxieties concealed beneath a clown's elaborate makeup. Abrakadabra is a sertãopunk exploration of psychedelic horror, seeking to elevate perceptions of fear and the Northeast to a plane where the bizarre and the real converge.

Sertãopunk: histórias de um nordeste do amanhã
The Brazilian Northeast is a region brimming with cultural richness, linguistic diversity, historical significance, and a vibrant tapestry of ethnicities. However, artistic portrayals of the region often fail to reflect this multifaceted reality. Historically, the Brazilian Northeast has been consistently depicted as arid, impoverished, and mired in suffering. Even when futuristic settings are explored, the aesthetic remains stubbornly unchanged.
Sertãopunk is a literary and artistic movement that offers a fresh perspective on envisioning the Northeast within speculative fiction, decentralizing the dominant narratives in Brazilian literature. The collection Sertãopunk: Histórias de um Nordeste do Hoje (Sertãopunk: Stories from a Northeast of Today) features stories and articles by the movement's creators — Alan de Sá and G. G. Diniz, organized by Alec Silva — that embody the idea of representing the Brazilian Northeast from an authentic and empowering perspective.
