Reseña del libro "Gothic Tales: dark poetry (en Inglés)"
As a natural born poet since the age of seven, Jody LaGreca has a deep affinity for poetic form and dark fiction. GOTHIC TALES contains an assortment of Narrative Poems that flow like the storybook from hell. The poems are literary, sophisticated, forthright and gruesomely picturesque at times. The book is divided into five parts; the first section contains vampire poems that are gory yet evocative, with darkly romantic blood drinking, and tongue and cheek scenarios. Part Two is comprised of Halloween horror with the wiles of witches and the haunting of ghosts, who steal our dreams and waking hours. Part Three is hauntingly gruesome, involving thought provoking scenarios straight from the underworld. Part Four contains sagas involving death and threat. Part Five showcases an ensemble of graveside scenarios and the eeriness of reality. GOTHIC TALES is for lovers of the macabre and unexpected with an ironic twist to incite and inspire.Acclaim for GOTHIC TALES: "As I read GOTHIC TALES by Jody R. LaGreca, I imagined the author, draped in a black silk cape, writing these poems with a raven's quill under a full moon. The tone is lush, darkly romantic, and filled with macabre exuberance. Be sure to pick up a bottle of red wine to sip while you're reading this deliciously Gothic collection!"-- Mark McLaughlin, Bram Stoker Award winner for Best Poetry Collection"Jody R. LaGreca's Gothic Tales is a great collection of ballads: an equal mixture of the macabre and the beautiful. If you have ever felt the itch to read poetry out loud by candle light, while the wind howls outside your window, Gothic Tales is the collection for you."--Michael Walker, Author of "The Vampire Henry""Close your eyes and let Jody LaGreca lead you through the dark maze of Gothic Tales: Dark Poetry. It doesn't matter what strange and scary creatures you'll encounter on this darkly surreal sojourn: headless henchmen, hiding ghosts, flying witches, thirsty vampires, ghouls with golden teeth, screams or silence, skeletons or in the flesh, because along the way, Jody LaGreca whispers elegant words in your ear, encouraging you to journey into the dark places that chill your bones. Highly recommended!" --Michael McCarty, 5-Time Bram Stoker Finalist and author of Modern Mythmakers, A Little Help From My Fiends and co-author of Dracula Transformed and Lost Girl of The Lake
