Sobre IBD

This is the latest offering from the Master of the Macabre, 60 Gothic Narratives by Australian Poet David Lewis Paget. If you haven’t come across these before, you’re missing out. Guaranteed to raise those fine hairs on the back of your neck, especially if you’re reading at night, in a quiet gloomy house. You will find yourself getting up to double lock your doors and windows once you’ve sampled a few of these. Composed in perfect rhyme and metre, the rhythm will carry you along despite yourself, and may even match the beating of your heart. Your only complaint may be that each one ends before you’re ready to let it go. But you will be drawn into the next, and then the next, before going apprehensively off to that dark bedroom, where the characters of these tales may dance in your dreams.So buy this book today, and make sure you read it before lending it out... because you’ll never get it back!

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

  • The Obelisk
    David Lewis Paget
    This, my sixteenth volume of narrative poems, is what you might call a mixed bag. If you bought this in a lolly shop, you would find the usual sickly pink sugary ones, the sour teddies, and the chocolate smoothies. But wriggling around the bottom of the bag would be some that defied description, black and glutinous, with names like dark dreams and shadowy freakshows. Unless you...

    Once more a collection of 70 narrative poems, with disparate themes, something, in fact, for everybody. This is my fifteenth collection, beginning with Timepieces, which was largely Gothic, to the present collection which are rather less bloodthirsty than those early volumes. I like to think of most of the subject material as bizarre these days, more subtle perhaps, but just as...

    The characters in these stories may well haunt your sleeping hours, once you have given yourself up to them, have absorbed their eccentricities and the fables I engineered for them. They do not live as you and I live. Not for them the mundane and repetitive boredom of tiny lives, lived in quiet desperation in the mean streets of our cities. They mainly survive on the edge of th...
