El peregrino
In 1982, Coelho published his first book, "Hell Archives", which failed to make a substantial impact. In 1986 he contributed to the "Practical Manual of Vampirism", although he later tried to take it off the shelves since he considered it "of bad quality." After making the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in 1986, Coelho wrote "The Pilgrimage", published in 1987.
