Sirrus Poe (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 19, 2003

Releasing the Demons is a whirlwind of emotional flight. From the first short story, “Her Diary,” to the last poem, “Daughter’s Release,” the downward spiral of human nature takes hold like a vise. Sirrus Poe takes you by the hand and leads you into a world of greed, envy, murder, revenge, and abuse that most of us pray does not exist. This is where he excels; he will make you believe in, or at least question, what lies below your skin and your everyday world. This book will make you open the closet door to see what demons hide within.

This review is from: Releasing the Demons (Paperback)

"Releasing The Demons" is a nightmarish collection of bizarre and disconcerting short stories, plus it includes dark poetry that takes you to another realm of consciousness. This book brings to the surface a side of humanity that is seldom seen in the light of day.

"Her Diary," a short story, is filled with utter despair and regret; it leaves you still curious about the plight of the characters. "Benjamin James" and "Footprints of Fear," both short stories, are drenched with fear of the unknown; these stories make a soul feel uneasy about being alone...in the dark, and completely vulnerable to what's hidden and hungry for a taste of pure, blood-thirsty madness.

The poetry speaks loud and clear; the various topics rattle one's usually content thoughts about life. I especially enjoyed reading "Nature's Haze," "Towering Pines Consumed Her," and "Questioning." There is an alternate world out there; it's on the edge of darkness and Sirrus Poe has brought it into the light; this book will haunt you.

"Releasing The Demons" is intriguing; it will leave you wondering what will come next from the chilling mind of Sirrus Poe.
