VINNY DA GUINEA: ESTP
A supernatural thriller with psychological horror, occult, and fictionalized true-crime elements—coming soon
Greenwich looked perfect from the outside.
Mansions. Private clubs. Stone walls. Old family names.
Vinny DeCarlo grew up close enough to that world to see what money could protect—and far enough outside it to see what people were willing to bury.
He also grew up around murder.
Martha Moxley.
Matthew Margolies.
Two real deaths that became part of Greenwich history—and part of the memories Vinny eventually left behind. The novel uses both cases fictitiously and does not claim to solve either one.
After Vinny dies, his son Jake finds the journals.
What begins as his father’s scattered account of growing up in Greenwich turns into something else. Childhood fights. Family violence. Missing people. Old grudges. Deaths that never sat right. Strange digressions that seem pointless until they suddenly aren’t.
Much of Vinny’s everyday world comes from V Le Chenz’s own life in Greenwich, giving the novel a lived-in look at the 1970s and 1980s—the neighborhoods, schools, jobs, class lines, language, and everyday life as he remembers them.
And beneath all of it is the little red house on Pemberwick Road.
The dirt cellar.
The Pember family.
Stories of ritual, curses, and marked ground beneath the property long before Vinny was born.
Jake keeps reading.
Then he starts investigating.
The stories come back in a different order.
And worse.
What Vinny remembered as a child does not always match what Jake uncovers as a man. Some people were not who Vinny thought they were. Some deaths were not what they appeared to be. And some things buried in Greenwich did not stay buried.
Decades later, Vinny reconnects with a fictionalized Dabney Coleman, a man he first met and spent time with during his California years. This time, Coleman seems to understand something about Vinny that Vinny never understood about himself.
Vinny da Guinea is a psychological, fictionalized true-crime, and occult thriller about fathers and sons, murder, memory, class, family secrets, and the dangerous distance between what happened and what a family decides to remember.
This is Greenwich without the postcards.
Old money. Cold blood. And something much older underneath it.
COMING SOON!
THE last FACE
Vinny DeCarlo learned young that a face can tell him things no one should know.
How close death is.
Pieces of the good someone has done. The damage they carry. The things they hide.
Even photographs work. An old picture can tell Vinny whether the person in it is alive right now.
When that person dies, something disappears.
The face remains.
The connection does not.
So Vinny learns not to look.
Then he meets Elena Russo.
She becomes the one person he allows completely into his life.
One day, her face tells him she has nine days.
Doctors find nothing. Tests find nothing. Vinny warns her anyway.
Nine days later, Elena is dead.
That changes him.
Vinny retreats behind dark glasses, locked gates, delivery instructions, and machines that arrive without their owners. The fewer faces he sees, the less he has to know.
For decades, it almost works.
Then the ability starts changing.
Death can move. Connections appear between people. Some disappear when a body dies.
Others do not.
And as Vinny approaches the end of his own life, he begins to suspect he has misunderstood what the faces have been showing him all along.
Then Vinny dies.
And for the first time in his life, he cannot look away.
The Last Face is a dark supernatural thriller about isolation, grief, consequence, and what may remain of us after the body is finished.
Death was never the end of the connection.
It was the part Vinny could not see yet.
