Melpomene is a collection of poetry, prose and short fiction named
after the Greek Muse of Tragedy. The central theme of the anthology
is the beauty found in sorrow and the darker sides of human nature,
drawing on literary traditions such as the 'Damned Poets', the
Decadent Movement, Symbolism/Surrealism and the Fin de si cle.
Melpomene is broken into four sections: Liber Veneficium (Book of
Magic), Liber Maeroris (Book of Sorrow), Liber Fatum (Book of
Fate), and Liber Mortuorum (Book of Death). Each section contains
both new and classic literature dealing with these themes. Authors
in this volume include Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, William
Blake, Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, Gwendolyn Taunton, Azsacra
Zarathustra, Math Jones, Bernardo Sena, J. Karl Bogartte, C. B.
Liddell, James WF Roberts, Christopher Pankhurst, H. A. Cledones,
Tamas Nagyatadi Horvath, L. Alexander Carle, Bill Noble, Marg
Howlet, Ivor Steven and Gene Banyard. Containing works both old and
new, Melpomene offers a prime selection of works on the melancholic
side of existence, the transformational beauty of the esoteric,
occult secrets hidden in verse, sorrow, doom and the inevitable
grasp of death. Melpomene will haunt the reader with a dark and
unearthly beauty that is both forbidden and forlorn...
