Always Many Incidents

From the ashes of 9/11 to the haunted ruins of an Irish manor, Always Many Incidents gathers a lifetime of tales—some true, some twisted, all unforgettable. Author, Charlie Comparetto spins a web of memory and menace: a fraternity pledge night gone demonic, a child’s game turned eerie in the New York woods, a girl in a Sri Lankan tree marked by Satan’s hand. Here, Dawn whispers through electric blue screens, turning Dave’s meds-and-kombucha life into a paranoid spiral of betrayal and blood and the Summer of Sam bleeds into a Queens boy’s reckoning in Virginia.

These are fireside stories from a hard-won life—snippets of a grandfather’s dark humor, a grandmother’s ghostly legacy, and the day the towers fell, taking friends with them. Sometimes blurring the lines between real life events, Comparetto lets the haze of recollection shape each incident into something raw and real. “Some of it’s even true,” he grins.

Launch companion podcast Always Many Incidents drops March 2025—each episode unravels a chapter, from the Space Coast’s secrets to the Million-dollar movies that shaped a soul. For those who’ve lived through shadows, this is your echo.
