Songs from the Black Moon

â€œAll the trees whose names we have forgotten have long since embraced our entwined limbs.â€

In the tradition of the 19th century, fin-de-siÃ¨cle prose poem, Songs from the Black Moon is a dark elegy for an already-forgotten planet and its wandering, somnambulistic inhabitants.

â€œA book of beautiful and strangely tranquil outbursts of disaffection and dissolution. I wish everyone on earth lived by the sentiments expressed within it.â€
--Thomas Ligotti, author of The Conspiracy Against the Human Race

â€œIn search of an atrabilious poetics that might render breathable the â€œblack abyssâ€ within, the Baronesse de Tristeombre has written an apocryphal rejoinder to the Book of Lamentations, filled with salt, sand, crystal and leprous flesh. Read this grimoire of â€œtectonic sorrowâ€ and despair anew.â€
--Drew Daniel, author of The Melancholy Assemblage

â€œIn the black light of these lunar songs, you and I despair for the last time, again.â€
-- Pseudo-Leopardi, author of Cantos for the Crestfallen

â€œSongs from the Black Moon resurrects the literary tradition of Dark Romanticism - stark, sparse, and drenched in a blackened lyricism...ecstatic lamentations for the world-without-us...â€
-- Eugene Thacker, author of In The Dust of This Planet
