Shadows and Mirrors: A Dark Poetry Collection
Shadows linger all around us, but the one we refuse to acknowledge is the one looking in the mirror. What does your reflection say about you?
Shadows and Mirrors explores the darker aspects of the self. Life, death, love, hate, pain, and healing collide in this dark poetry collection from Rena Aliston.
Woven Tales: Selected Poems
An empty screen, eerie serenade –
who can resist woven tales sung
by chiseled tongues?
Woven Tales encapsulates selected poems from the Unspeakable Truths Series (Damnation Begins, 2007, and Baptism By Blood, 2009) and the Versified Series (Versified Darkness, 2008 and Versified Delusions, 2012).
The Devil's Grave: A Collection of Short Crime & Horror Stories
My eyes marveled at the sight of decaying flesh, rotting souls. We lingered in a cold world. Shadows stalked us as we traveled across the Devil’s grave.
Deception walks among us, clinging to our shadows as we fight to survive life, overcome death, relieve pain, and escape envy’s grasp. If you trod upon the earth long enough, you’ll feel death’s angel hovering over your carcass, pleading for you to let her in. Will you?
The Devil’s Grave, the first book in The Devil’s Reign Series, is a collection of short crime and horror stories. The collection includes 74 stories (drabble, flash fiction, short stories) spilled across time’s map, asking you one important question.
How far would you go to get what you want?
Conjure Volume 1
Conjure Volume 1 explores the allure of love tainted by darkness—relationships that straddle the line between pleasure and pain. Passion and enmity collide in this dark poetry collection, blurring the line between devotion and despair.
