Lullabies for Suffering : Tales of Addiction Horror
Pages: 250
My Review and Thoughts:
What a trip!
When I got word that I was going to get an advance copy of
this I was super excited. Mainly because I am a diehard fan of Kealan Patrick Burke.
I love his style and his imagination and over all complex storytelling that
transcends off the page and digs deep into your mind. With that said this book
is jam packed with brilliant writers that people truly should cherish. The equally amazing
Caroline Kepnes. The brilliant descriptive Mark Matthews. The imaginative guru
John FD Taff. And I was introduced, to, two writers I had not read before Gabino
Iglesias and Mercedes M Yardley, which both, now have become two new favorites
of awesome wordplay in my imagination filled mind.
This book has an array of amazing, graphic, descriptive
storytelling that only these writers can possess. This book gives you many
ordeals inside the world of a darkness that most all people can understand, or
relate to in one way or another. Addiction can affect us all. Maybe you have
gone through it, or someone you love has experienced it. That is why the horror’s
and darkness of addiction is personal to all of us in some form. What this book
gets right is the disturbing and visceral approach to the subject matter.
Each of the authors created a wonderful exploration of
words, imagery, and a vibrant clarity. They created pieces of work that
explores a time of darkened life. They place you in a period of the exploration
of the body, mind and most of all, feelings. An exploring of two forms of existence,
life, and life screwed up. Together these forms of addiction horror, complete a
form clouded with an underlining monstrosity of reality.
There are certain pieces that I will remember and continue
to reread again? Each story creates a moment that is forever lasting. These
stories are an understanding of life in some form. I feel the book is a
complete process of pure imaginative entertainment that feels totally real in written form.
You get six stories.
Six unforgettable realities of
darkness.
A dread of horror stylized on page.
A horror of dread that easily
leaks from the page into the imagination of the mind.
Lullabies of Suffering is
a book that remains deep, dark, inside your thinking process, long after finishing
the last page.
Would I Recommend: Absolutely. This is a book that I will remember
and one that I think deserves to be praised and recommended.
Would I Read Again: Absolutely. I have already read several of
the works a second time.
Four Final Words: Visceral, Addictive Wordplay, Horrific.
My Rating: 4 out of 5
