Dreams of Darkness, Dreams of Night description:
|
|
|
A collection of poetry and short stories which will take you on a decidedly 'dark ride' through a mind that has seen much pain and loss, but also shares with the reader a deep-seated longing for love, and offers up the occasional glimpse of humor, as well. Gleaned from some 25 years of writing, these stories and poems will take you to the limits of reason, and then drop you off in a place you may like to visit, but where you would never want to stay.

| Betty Corbin-Tucker of IP Reviews: | "Dreams of Darkness, Dreams of Night" by Terry D. Scheerer takes readers on a
journey into his mind where they experience fragments of his life through
poetry and short stories. Seeing the dark side of life as depicted by the
writings of a man in torment is a fascinating, nerve-wracking, and captivating
experience. The fact that there is a thin line dividing reality from fantasy,
the natural from the supernatural, and the light from the darkness is evident
in this book. How many of us have crossed this line? I dare say that most of
us have, or will do so, in our lifetimes.
Mr. Scheerer, a very creative individual, exposes his innermost thoughts for
digestion by his readers. He, through the power of words, projects powerful
images of death, destruction, suffering, pain, horror, depressoin, etc., that
are detremined to taunt and haunt his own life. Though the readers will feel
the emotion of some sentimental moments and will read two stories with fairly
happy endings, such infrequent happenings are not told without supernatural
foundation built of gravesites and grief.
The short stories in the book are brilliant in terms of presentation and
effective dialog. Chilling, frightening, unsettling, suspensful, enthralling,
and gripping are just a few adjectives that I can think of to describe the
stories.
If you have a copy of this limited edition, I dare say that you will want to
devour it and take it to your grave. All readers who enjoy horror, as well as
journeying through the dark will want this "first edition" book for their
library.
