Darren Barker

Obscure Dark Poetry Darren Barker

If you've read the first two volumes of Darren Barker's murky verse, then you know what to expect from this third journey into his sick, black mind. Covering the shadier aspects of the human condition, Darren exposes the violence and horror in the most innocent of pastimes. These poems make the everyday chilling and the innocuous unsettling. Don't read them alone, unless you are possessed of a strong stomach and an iron nerve. This book contains one hundred illustrations of the ways in which flesh can be damaged, and minds broken. Read it for the shrewd wordplay, for the imagination and for the delight in horror that Darren so effortlessly invokes. Just don't blame him if you find yourself wondering how sharp your kitchen knives are when you look at your best friend...
