Dark Woods Rising

The denizens of dark places, the seldom seen and barely sensed are given shape and voice in this collection by A J Dalton. In these pages we find witches, demons, goblins, mages and trolls. The collection also contains glimpses of alternative histories and the dangers of space. The unsettling visions of the poet are sometimes combined with a touch of humour, making for an entertaining and beguiling read. -Dr Penelope Cottier, Australian poet and author Who wouldn't like a book of poems that turns loose enslaved goblins? Dark Woods Rising brings the hidden and unseen before us, where they can cast their finest spells, their longest shadows. -Dr. Matt Schumacher, editor of Phantom Drift: A Journal of New Fabulism & author of The Fire Diaries: Poems
