Hello hello : ) Are there any dark fiction readers out there? My best guess is yes, & I also happen to be an avid reader of it myself. Have you ever come across a book that, after reading once, you knew beyond a shadow of doubt you would read again? I certainly have, but as far as anything completely "new", it's honestly been awhile....Until recently.
About two weeks ago, I purchased a new ( & admittedly my first) Kindle book. It is indeed dark fiction, & intriguingly so. The name? "Moribund Tales". The author? Erik Hofstatter, & if you are a reader & lover of dark fiction, I highly recommend you grab this one if you haven't already! A book that tells one story at length can undoubtedly be enough to indulge the mind, "Moribund Tales" obliges with nine short stories that effectuate more than one dark cornerstone. His ability to execute the visual details could be slightly compared to authors such as Poppy Z. Brite, with a style that will also remind you of the classic Edgar Allan Poe. These nine tales will take you on a journey that range anywhere from violent emotion to twisted psychological impulse, guaranteed to chill the mind & give the skin a thrilling crawl or two.
I've never been particularly compelled to write a blog in regards to a new book I've read, but because I'm drawn to the more sinister side of makeup artistry, things that are creepy & twisted do intrigue me-specifically in regards to what I read. I've always been drawn to the "not-so-ordinary", & being able to express that in my makeup is something that I'm very pleased about. I have even done makeup looks that deal with my two worst fears: Clowns & spiders ( shhh, don't tell anyone ;p). I've always loved to read, & dark fiction has been draw for me since my teenage years. If the content in a book I read scares me, turns my stomach, or makes my skin crawl-I applaud the author! Cheers to you Erik Hofstatter, job well done .
