Voices from the Dark

Synopsis

Poems of Madness and the stars, from this world to others millions of miles away... A sense of profound loss mingled with horror... A Place beyond death that is almost insane in its realism... Visions of cities and planets of pure evil... The loneliness of the outcast and the artist of dreams - Poems that haunt you long after you've closed the book. "I've often admired Crawford's unique style, his obsession with dreams vs. reality, sanity vs. insanity. ("I pick at the scab/of my madness/until it bleeds again.") In this collection, you will know phantom worlds, cities and waking nightmares by the scholar of phantoms himself. To borrow from his unsettling lines, these poems will become the hands that reach up from under the bed to grasp your mind as you sleep." - Marge Simon, 2008 Bram Stoker winner Vectors: A Week in the Death of A Planet.
