Nocturne

So, while I'm no fan of poetry I decided to check this out to continue reading this author as I've enjoyed his other works.

In this, the author collects the poetry he had written when he was younger and traveling about and his flings with many women. It's accompanied by stock photos he chose that help further set the mood.

The whole thing is sad emotionally and very bittersweet and left me feeling rather melancholy when I was finished. With both the poems and the introduction this is a very personal look at part of the author's life. He comes across as a very real and interesting person.

While I won't pretend to have gained some newfound love of poetry, I was glad I read this. The author is very good with words whether it be horror, dark and twisted love stories, or poetry. So if you're like me and not much of a fan of this genre this is still worth taking a look at especially if you've enjoyed his other works.
