Stevens Official Blog Here Watch the Book Trailer Here Order Shadows of Myth And Legend from Amazon Here To continue with the theme of National Poetry month I thought I'd feature Shadows of Myth and Legend by E.J. Stevens. I ran across E.J. by chance on goodreads. While poetry can be beautiful and moving, Stevens writing is describes as dark poetry. It really intrigued me and I wanted to see what this all had in store. Shadows of Myth and Legend is a 70 page collection of dark poems that involve some of the creatures of myth and legends. These creatures range from vampires, demons, dark fairies and the like. The first thing that stands out about this collection of poetry is the amount of talent that E.J. Stevens has. This isn't some slapped together version of poems put into a book for people to enjoy. Instead there is an immense collection of very dark poems. Each poem brings about a picture from some of the creatures of legends and although it doesn't describe every movement of these creatures I could vividly imagine the darkness that trailed behind all these creatures. These poems aren't going to make someone scream or stay up all night. Instead there is a bit of a dark cloud feeling to these poems. There isn't white puffy clouds and skipping involved in these poems. The thing that stood out the most about all these poems really was the talent that Stevens has. These poems actually made sense and didn't try to confuse or impress the reader with complex words and sing songy flow. Shadows of Myth and Legend is perfect for any fan of dark creatures that are from legends and fairy tales and will make a great collection of poems for the dark poetry lover. Even if one isn't a dark poetry fan it's worth it to see what that style is all about.

In literature, fantasy is a form of fiction, usually novels or short stories
Perhaps the most common sub-genres of fantasy--or at least most commonly associated with the term \"Fantasy\"--are sword and sorcery and high fantasy Further blurring the definition, some suggest there is a distinction between \"Fantasy\" proper as a genre, and \"the fantastic,\" the latter being a fantasy-like element in other fiction.

Joke of the article
Travel and tourist jokesA traveller pulls into a hotel around midnight and asks the clerk for a single room. As the clerk fills out the paperwork, the man looks around and sees a gorgeous blonde sitting in the lobby. He tells the clerk to wait while he disappears into the lobby. After a minute he comes back, with the girl on his arm. "Fancy meeting my wife here," he says to the clerk. "Guess I'll need a double room for the night." Next morning, he comes to settle his bill, and finds the amount to be over $3000. "What's the meaning of this?" he yells at the clerk. "I've only been here one night!" "Yes," says the clerk, "but your wife has been here for three weeks."
