With a focus on fantasy and daily life stories, Eric Novello’s work has been published in paper and in Internet portals. Among the printed publications is the history novel Dante, o Guardião da Morte (Dante – the Guardian of Death), and the humorous novel Histórias da Noite Carioca (Rio de Janeiro Night Stories).
In addition, he participated as author and/or organizer in short story collections, such as Imaginários (Draco Pub. Co.), which gathers fantasy, science fiction and terror stories from Brazilian and Portuguese writers of various generations, and the collection Paradigmas Vol. 1 (Tarja Pub. Co.), with a similar focus but with stories from the new generation of national authors, among other publication. More information about this work, including covers and excerpts, can be found in the Books section (in Portuguese).
This site holds a significant part of Eric Novello’s Internet work. Among them is the Shadow Across the Sun – The Diary of a Male Hooker, with an erotic and lyric environment and light-hearted stories, picturing the pleasures of flesh and spirit, as well as the pain, love and follies of Ícaro, main character of this series (by the way, one of the author’s favorites). There’s also The Secret Diary of Lucas Moginie, presenting a series of droll stories based on the universe of the Rio de Janeiro Night Stories book. It talks about daily life in a very peculiar way, heavily weighted by Lucas’ acid humor. I also mention God is on Vacation, with dialogues between religious characters about political and scientific topics. All texts are in the Textos Online section.
A movie, music and book reviewer, Eric writes about these topics for the Art Journal Aguarrás with most of this work replicated in this site. He is also the creator and mastermind behind the Fantastik site, dedicated to publicize national fantasy literature. He is a scriptwriter graduated by the Brazilian Institute of Audiovisual – Darcy Ribeiro Movie School, having participated in the short story Art and Slyness, while also writing the text of Modern Relationships I. With a focus on new media, he is developing in partnership with director Claudio Brandão the urban fantasy series Innatu, fully dedicated to the Web and the interactive experience enabled by this media.
