From a parking orbit observing "Antares" to the fi nal stand of a
lone, battleweary Templar knight in "A Cold Day," author Mark
Roberts presents this primer that introduces his work in poetry and
fi ction, the macabre and the supernatural.
Roberts uses a full arsenal of tools-poetry, essays, short
stories, novel excerpts-which he employs with ease and augments
with heart-stopping horror and straightfor-the-throat humor to
communicate his personal views on philosophy, metaphysics,
religion, and politics. His Wiccan influences grant him a unique
license which he readily abuses for a mischievous and brazen
flirtation with irreverence. In "Misunderstood" Roberts
demonstrates just how far beyond political satire, social
commentary, and leftist politics he's willing to go. "I still have
the treasured mementos and timeless photographs, symbols of the
golden friendships of youth. And I still listen to the magicking,
vociferous music that was to be our own unique timbre, the guiding
soundtrack on our mission to change the world. Weren't we such
inspired, uninhibited bohemians? In our most shining moments,
propining, benevolent, umanitarian, visionary and romanticizing. At
our worst, the Lady Caroline might have referred to us as "mad,
bad, and dangerous to know."
Aimed at full-scale provocation, Roberts presents this eclectic
collection that refl ects his Wiccan infl uences and his
no-holds-barred sense of humor. "A Primer of Darksome Intent" is
meant to be scary, funny, insightful, argumentative, and profound.
