Book Review - Crow Calls

Crow Calls: Volume One by Cassandra L. Thompson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beloved
Remember when I was yours?
Me neither
Another wasted wish
Upon a burning star.
-Melanie Whitlock

She calls to him
And he sways towards her
Her siren song bewitching
There is no denying her
As he splashes into the water
Swimming towards the maiden
He doesn’t notice the others
An entire crew called Drowned,
by the beauty
Of their fantasy come true
- K.R. Wieland

I believe that there is a rare quality in certain people that love the darkness; captivated by its raw energy and mysterious substance. Similar to a tomb, this book of poems embalms our senses, enraptures us into a wild frenzy. For the poets they do not fear darkness or death or grief, for those are the topics that captivate their attention, and it is plainly seen in the myriad of poems divulging on the subject matter. If you are a fan of H.P. Lovecraft or Poe's poem, it is certain you will enjoy this read. By far my favourites are the one posted above, but I also enjoyed "Vampiric Umbra" by Ravven White and "Melancholy" by Lynn-Cee Faulk.
