Dark (Paperback)

DARK is a collection of over 50 original, eerie poems and delightfully frightening short stories by James Brakken. Some are morbidly amusing, many utterly nightmarish, and others are simply downright disturbing. Over 50 darkly evocative engravings accentuate the macabre nature of the DARK collection. It is for all readers, contains no excessive obscenities nor sexual content, and is perfect reading by the fire on stormy nights, around the campfire, or by flashlight under the covers--provided the door is barred and bolted. DARK is neatly sliced into three parts: Dark, Darker, and Darkest. Each leads you to the next as you creep toward the shivery end. DARK is frightening but delightfully so. From the back cover: Lurking beneath the cover of DARK you will encounter a rare collection of James Brakken's spine-tingling poems and delightfully frightening short stories. Your host for this journey through the author's macabre library of horrors is "The Thief of Dreams" who will allow you to explore more than fifty bizarre, twisted, sometimes humorous, and often downright disturbing writings. Sequestered within DARK, the reader will find such devilish works as: - "The Zombie Apocalypse," a 4-part short story of high-tech horror. - "In Gloomy Wood" and other poems guaranteed to chill to the bone. - "Three Dragons," flash fiction designed to draw forth disturbing delight. - "Beastly Feastings" and lighter poems that will elicit nervous laughter. - "Nevermore," an attempt to resolve Edgar Allen Poe's age-old question. - Brief, chilling excerpts from the novel, THE TREASURE OF NAMAKAGON. - OVER 34 more nightmarish tales and creepy poems crafted to test your nerve. For visual relief from the skin-crawling nature of his poems and stories, the author has inserted 53 evocative engravings by master artists from ancient times. DARK will thrill readers of all ages, although it is not recommended for the very young as it could lead to life-long phobias. ENTER WITH CAUTION -- HERE THERE BE DRAGONS
