A Dark Corner of My Soul

A Dark Corner of My Soulwill be available atThe Celtic Yule Craft & Psychic Fair.Post a selfie withNyarlathotettefor FREE downloads of the next book in the Symbiot-Series!With foreward by Goodread's authorLydia Schoch(blogger), this is a selected collection of dark poetry."This book is exactly as its description, deep dark poetry. I will admit I really enjoyed this. I am not usually one to read poetry but trying to open my genres. I felt the author was really brave to bare his soul to everyone through his work. I enjoyed all but my favourite ones are Eternity with You, Come to Pass and The Man Downstairs. If you like dark poetry check these out. It is a very quick but enjoyable read."Genuine Jenn's Book Reviews"An amazing collection of literary prose which Weatherall has kept locked in a desk drawer for two decades is now a short collection of dark and deeply disturbing  poems."The reader is transported into the mind of someone suffering and you can see the images of his words as if they were your own."As a sufferer myself, I was amazed at just how much he was able to write and convey how mental illness makes a sufferer feel. Those images which are so difficult to explain that haunt the head flow off the page, raw and exposed for all to see.I couldn't possibly choose a favourite in the collection as they were all so powerful and beautifully written. Michel  has a true talent and after reading I felt he was extremely brave to share such wonderful, if dark work."TDC Book ReviewsInterested in more?Check it out onGoodreads!
