Blacker Against the Deep Dark

There are no holds barred in these stories, just a rawness that underpins his soaring talent. Alexander Zelenyj is a poet. His work is detailed, descriptive and devastating…The reader is swept into worlds of possibility where nothing is as it seems…In this latest collection he conveys desire, agony and horror with the ease of a master craftsman. His work is subtle yet brutal. It changes as quickly and unexpectedly as his imagination.
- Trevor Denyer, Editor-in-Chief of Midnight Street Press, from his introduction

This collection is like a kaleidoscope of colours and shapes dancing on a minefield. Highly recommended.
- Alessandro Manzetti, Bram Stoker Award- winning author of Eden Underground, No Mercy, and The Garden of Delight

Like a nightmare waltz of innocence and violence, Alexander Zelenyj’s newest collection weaves together terrifying melodies, counterbalanced by the distant note of a better world.
