In 2021 Tartarus Press published his collection The Gypsy Spiders and Other Tales of Italian Horror (""Lombardi maintains a nervy, churning atmosphere, keeping readers just off-balance enough to let the big beats feel shocking and subversive. . . . Lombardi has a knack for writing endings that linger. Lovers of postwar narratives and surrealist horror won't want to miss this.""--Publishers Weekly}. Full bibliography at www.nicolalombardi.com. J. Weintraub has published fiction, essays, and poetry in all sorts of literary places and his plays have been produced throughout the USA and internationally.
