Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

This was a wonderful collection of fantasy tales by talented authors. The poetry is vivid and blends perfectly with realms just beyond our own. The short stories are complete, yet make me want to experience more of each world created

a scintillating assemblage of nearly 100 poems - Diary of a Sorceress by Ashley Dioses

"To delve into these pages too closely is to risk enchantment; and, perhaps, some small, nagging sense of forbidding. But pay these feelings of unease no mind. Let Ashley weave her magic and be richly rewarded with imaginative worlds of both great beauty and great darkness. Weird poetry is on the rise if stars like Ashley's continue their ascent!"

in the grip of apocalypse and shadow - Thirteen Nocturnes by Oliver Sheppard

18+ "Sheppard's THIRTEEN NOCTURNES is gothic in every sense of the word; from the writing style, the themes, to Oliver’s own influences. Without a doubt, this bountiful collection raises the bar for contemporary gothic poetry. It’s rare in this day and age to find poetry written in a manner as sophisticated and profound as this. But here, Sheppard combines a down-to-earth modernism with older styles that make for a fanciful and unique experience for the reader." —Sar Blackthorn, CVLT Nation

We all wear various masks for different situations. - Mask: Shadow (Masks) by Joseph VanBuren

"Mask: Shadow lives up to its name, giving you shadows and silhouettes of meaning. Everything is a conspiracy and everyone is out to get you. I can't wait for the other books and sound tracks to drop and fill out these shadows!" - Keifer, Goodreads
