Description
About DARKER:
Imagine you are a mind readerâa voyeur who can steal dreams. It happens in the book, DARK. Now, DARKER, the midsection of DARK you are âThe Thief of Dreams,â allowing you to purloin many dreadful, occasionally humorous, and sometimes downright disturbing dreams--fantasies and nightmares of others. All are expressed as poetry and short stories, each designed to make you laugh, shudder or cringe, or all three.
For example, all SIX parts of âThe Zombie Apocalypseâ series (two in DARK, one in DARKER and 3 more in DARKEST) drew that title from a recent admission by GoogleÂź that this was their most-searched term in June, 2012. Many believe the Z A will happen. Brakken explains, in his Z A series, that, thanks to recent scientific innovation, this idea, this threat, is, indeed, plausible. Those who initially thought this term laughable may find themselves reconsidering. As we all know, science can be wonderfulâor terribleâdepending on the final outcome. (In DARKER, there is an invitation to new authors to submit their own Z A episodes for an upcoming anthology.)
Brakken's poems such as âIn Gloomy Woodâ and âThe Parson Joshua Blackâ tell stories that will tingle the spine. Others like âSomething in the Shadowsâ and âBedtime Storyâ may lead to the bedroom light being left on until morning. âGrammaâs Nogginâ will elicit a laugh while helping readers pronounce Namakagon correctly. Brakken's earlier book is THE TREASURE OF NAMAKAGON.) A sonnet, âThe Count,â will beg readers for restraint regarding releasing evil upon the land. There are so many more.
Brakken included âNevermoreâ a poetic tribute to Edgar Allen Poe and a favorite of many. âNevermoreâ answers Poeâs question about the final resting place of the spirit of the deceased maiden in Poeâs, âThe Raven.â
A number of poems, including âThe Ballad of Ole Johnsonâ and âA Pinery Taleâ found inspiration in actual deaths that occurred during northern Wisconsinâs 19th century timber harvest, giving them the western texture akin to the cowboy poetry of Baxter Black. Several mysterious excerpts from Brakkenâs 19th centuryâlumberjackâ era novel, THE TREASURE OF NAMAKAGON, complement the poems nicely. And, if dragons are to your liking, youâll savor the authorâs âThree Dragonsâ series.
Beware! Although this large collection of Brakkenâs macabre writings will delightfully scare the reader and sometimes stimulate nervous laughter, the author advises us that some of these works are utterly disturbing. His advice? Beware! Read at your own risk: Here there be dragons.
Perhaps that is why, for visual relief, the author included many darkly evocative engravings by long-dead master artists from ancient times. Gustave Dore and Albrecht Durer are among the artists who now, long after their death, add mystery and macabre charm to Brakkenâs work. Note that these images are not intended to illustrate the writings. Rather, they simply add to the enigmatic, bone-chilling nature of DARK.
THE AUTHOR ADVISES READING DARK IN THE ORDER PRESENTED. Jumping ahead may spoil the twisting, turning plots of some sequential works.
