Hearts annihilated in necromantic longing.
Minds driven by malign passion.
Domestic vampirism, decadence, and fervent,
apocalyptic hope.
Occult promises and blood to bleed.
Dense with rot, trauma, and violence,
Trance Of The Charnel Hearts, a collection of savage tragedies
by Finnish author Henry Ben Edom, opens wide a nocturnal
landscape of hells both human and inhuman, internal, infernal,
and, perhaps, even eternal.
Following an introduction by Richard Gavin, author of
The Infernal Masque and grotesquerie, inside waits
a visceral world of heinous deeds, blackest magic and
disturbingly human needs.
