He has also written an alternate history biography of H. P. Lovecraft under the title HPL (1890-1991) which has been translated in English, and several pastiches of famous science fiction authors. For example, his Three Laws of Robotic Sexuality parodies Isaac Asimov's robot stories. He also writes lyrics for rock bands, and is a member of the acid punk group Brain Damage, active since 1977.
