As the title of Collection IV suggests, these are poems to read while safely tucked up under a soft blanket so you have at least the hope of staying safe and sheltered. But don't stare at the shadows too long. These sensual and sometimes erotic fantasies might cause your imagination to run away with you! The following excerpts from selected poems make my meaning clear.
In "Lady of the Night" a shadow from the moors comes to call:
His body ached with the carnal wait and
it was all he could do to tamp down his passion
so he didn't appear the drooling Vampyre fool.
I particularly liked this passage from "Things Which Go Bump...In the Night":
...conceived by the world so long ago
as a form of disquiet to the world at large,
of an authority beyond our five senses
darkly entrenched in myths and legends
...and of pacts given and promises broken
which unmercifully tease the fragile mind
and leave fear and dread...as a token.
In "Werewolf", the poet paints a clear picture of a female shape shifter prowling the night:
Liquid lightening surged, streaking through her veins
as bits of energy twirled about her human form.
Edges softened and blurred in the desert shadows;
she felt the lengthening of muscles and bones
as she made her graceful wolfen change.
"Pawn" describes a woman's fear, and her desire as the night stalker works his magic on her mind:
Like a disjointed puppet
she moved as if dancing
to a skillful taskmaster
for his voice was so compelling...beautiful
...like an aria played on the night air.
And finally, "The Vampyre Hunter" beautifully portrays a life of necessary loneliness before a man succumbs to carnal desires:
He lived at the edge of humanity's awareness
and he chose this way of life to score his days
for people sensed the turbulent danger in him and
he needed to be free of all personal entanglement
...especially that of a woman's tender love.
Those who enjoy reading of the surreal and sensuous will love this collection.

I can read and enjoy the poetry of Elizabeth Lucas-Taylor on pretty much any day or night of the week. But I still have to confess that I have always found this particular writer's more shadowy side extremely intriguing, sometimes comical, sometimes terrifying, and always brilliantly thrilling.
