Welcome
My name is DiVitto Kelly, and welcome to my website. Here you’ll find information about my novels, short stories, screenplays, and a TV sitcom based on my career in public libraries.
Cool news: The official release date for my new horror/comedy novel, Sol, is January 12, 2026. It's an atypical vampire tale set in 1979 Miami Beach and Romania, blending vampires, Jewish delis, and New York City baseball.
On the burner: My fifth novel, tentatively called The Alley, is a creature feature set in the Florida Everglades near Big Cypress Reservation along Alligator Alley in late summer, 1981. I'm incorporating my knowledge of residing in the Sunshine State and experience working for the Seminole Tribe of Florida to give the story a unique flavor. The story will have a nice balance of horror and humor.
Release date: Jan. 12, 2026!
It’s spring 1979, and retired deli owner Sol Hirsch, formerly of Queens, New York, has traded in his life of corned beef and kosher pickles for the sunny climate of Miami Beach. But after a recent trip with his wife, Myrna, to visit her ailing mother in Romania, Sol’s life now teeters on the realm of the undead, courtesy of a vampire bat that noshed on his neck.
Upon returning home to the Sunshine State (definitely not an ideal place for vampires), the New York Mets diehard develops a thirst for human blood. As things worsen, Sol’s life-or-death situation may very well boil down to an evening spring training baseball game involving his beloved Mets and the New York Yankees.
Equal parts horror and humor, Sol is a blood-soaked romp through Miami Beach at the tail end of the disco decade—where the undead meet early-bird specials, and one stubborn retiree refuses to go down without a fight.

He just wants someone to nosh.
