Dante XXIII

Awakened in the future

Imagine being cryopreserved and waking up two hundred years later. What would you feel? What would the world you find yourself in be like?

This is the story of 39-year-old Alexis Dante, who suffers from a terminal illness and the technology company he works for gives him the option to sign a special clause: donate his body to science. This implies his cryogenization... And being awakened two hundred years later.

Dante XXIII takes place in a decadent future in which high technology makes possible the existence of the human-machine cyborg, with marginal characters and a society subjected to an oppressive regime dictated by the megacorporations that control everything.

A world that, who knows, may cease to be a dystopia and become reality.

  • About me...

    I was born one cold November in Madrid. And I have northern blood from my parents and grandparents. That's why I have always felt attracted to the Celtic and Viking mythologies. Their culture, their music. That influenced and inspired me to start writing my first novel before I entered university.

    I studied Geological Sciences at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM).

     

    My first novel is Donde mora la bestia (Where the Beast Dwells), which blends historical fantasy with Celtic mythology and is set in 15th-century Scotland. It was published in 2016 by the Seleer publishing house; in 2021 it was reissued by Caligrama, including sheets and drawings of characters made by herself, and obtained the Talent Seal.

     

    Also, in 2021 I published my Poemario: Vivir, Sentir, Morir in audiobook format, with fantasy as the predominant genre.

     

    I attended various writing workshops, and narrative and novel planning courses taught by authors such as Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Clara Peñalver, and Rosa Montero, among others.

     

    In 2022 I published my second novel, Saol Eile, a psychological horror thriller in which the lives of various characters are intertwined, and different topics are dealt with, such as reincarnation and past lives.

     

    Also, during this year, I published my first book of short stories Sueños del más allá: relatos cortos within the horror, fantasy and science fiction genres.

     

    In 2023 I published Dante XXIII a cyberpunk dystopia.

     

    I started sharing my writing knowledge and experiences on my YouTube channel Mi Biblioteca Oscura, and also I created my first online course "Convierte tus ideas en tu novela terminada" in order to help others to write their works.

    My interest in drawing and writing comes from my love of manga and anime since I was a child. I have always enjoyed drawing, inventing characters, and creating a story around them.

    I love science fiction, cyberpunk, horror, and vampire stories, as well as medieval historical fantasy.
