From the Shadows is the haunting new release by dark poet E.J. Stevens. Stevens' work rekindles the great lyrical storytelling style of Edgar Allen Poe with a dark imagination influenced by such masters as Neil Gaiman and H. P. Lovecraft.
"Dark, Disturbing, Haunting, and Beautiful"
"words flow magically allowing the reader to become entwined in the poem"
"beautifully written"
"Very impressive writing with fine flow and rhythm."
"Poe-like......beautiful/scary"
"The poems contained in this slim volume range from melancholy to heartbreaking, and disconcerting to downright scary. What they all have in common is that each one evokes emotion on a deep, sometimes visceral, level. With just a few well selected words E.J. Stevens paints pictures of worlds, people, and situations just outside the reader's reality, but familiar enough to be relatable.
If your tastes tend toward the darker side of human experience, this is definitely a book you will savor."
