It is dark, dark, dark, drenched in moonlight and mausoleum shadows. Written entirely in formal verse structures, these poems are completely involved with aesthetics of the macabre and dark fantastic, and the evocation of like atmosphere(s) and ideation(s). They are informed by Weird Tales-style literature, Victorian ghost stories, Surrealism, Expressionism, Symbolism, Decadence, Parnassianism, Gothic Romanticism, cosmicism, isolationism, theology, occult philosophy and obscure areas of biblical and classical mythology. These are songs of the strange and supernatural.
