OAKLAND, Calif., May 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A dead man tells no tales and casts no shadow. The Darker Brother gives a rejuvenating breath into these time-weathered sayings on the deceased with his dark poetic sense, featured in a collection that unfastens the realm of shadows, horror and the unsettling mood of an Edgar Allan Poe story, in The Room: A Book of Poetry, Horror & Erotica.
The Darker Brother packs in a surprising element or figure into each page, introducing original disturbing or downright blood-chilling stories told through the succinct lines of poetry, which he further bends according to his murk-laden plots. Discover how he twists his poetic threads to weave gnarled tales of death and becoming one of the damned, the surreal experience of being dead, or slowly dying from rotting away on a seashore. As well, The Darker Brother reveals the unspoken ways with which sex can become a sinister lure without losing an ounce of its physical essence.
Ominously entertaining, The Room beguiles the reader dangerously closer, bidding them to ignore the persistent goosebumps on their arms, their erratic heartbeat, and the frightening odds of losing their life, for that all-too-enticing lure of ecstasy that the dark side lays out for the foolish and unsuspecting.
