No Mercy

From the Bram Stoker Award-winning poet that brought you Eden Underground comes another Stoker Award nominee... The Lady in Black shows no mercy to anyone; she has cold skin, a job to do, and many lovers on Earth: Despair, Loneliness, Madness, and their soldiers and killers of daily life, armed with blades, hammers, teeth, and illusions. There are strange and bloody stories that tell all about it, if you want to hear them… Are you sure? Well, you’ve found the right place, but consider that in turning these pages you’ll be thrown forward through time, until you reach the Apocalypse—the last stop. So, like the Lady in Black, show yourself no mercy—sit down and read these stories, listening to Janis Joplin with a bottle of Southern Comfort cradled in your arm. Don’t worry, you’ll find both of them inside this book, along with so many other dark pleasures. “No Mercy is a journey through time and history on a real/surreal road, rocking and rolling with no pity. Manzetti’s poems inspire a transcendent reality, a dream reality that slips in and out of nightmares; earthscape ruled by sensory overload, soul underload and imagination that melts into hunger for love, life and music. I loved this unearthly and yet strangely familiar meal laid before my eyes.”—Linda D. Addison, award-winning author of “How to Recognize a Demon Has Become Your Friend” “Marvelous, powerful work! Manzetti fills his canvases with broken souls –such as Janis Joplin, Frida Kahlo whose lives left footprints in our history. He introduces you to others with Inspiring imagery, giving the reader much to ponder. Simply outstanding, five stars!”—Marge Simon, Bram Stoker Award winner Brought to you by Crystal Lake Publishing – Tales from the Darkest Depths Categories: Horror Poetry Dark Poems Horror Speculative fiction Poetry Collection Dark Fiction Horror Collection
