ALONE

Lonely (by Jørn Allan Pedersen )

Alone can be refreshing,

A walk in the cold snow.

Lonely can be depressing,

A silence that hits you low.

Can we distinguish between the two,

As we listen to our heart’s song?

Our time alone is so rare and few,

Refreshing until it feels wrong.

At this moment I feel alive,

Alone but not lonely in my own place.

My dark spirit yearns to survive,

As I raise my happy face.

BLANKET OF WATER

Source:impressiing

A soothing blanket of water

Wrapping around my body.

It refreshes and awakens me

To the wonders of the clear world.

I can see fish and dolphins

Swimming below me in the sea.

There’s no other place I’d rather be.

5 Star Review of THE DEAD GAME

5Star

Creative, refreshing and chilling

Susanne Leist’s The Dead Game had my reading intently and wide eyed, often forgetting to blink due to the eagerness to find out what happens next. The plot keeps you involved with each character as they all had a key role to play in the story. It is unnerving, mysterious yet still shares the perspective of multiple characters to give you an understanding of their point of views, even though Linda and Todd are the primary focus.

Susanne puts a creative spin on vampires which gave the book a refreshing aspect to the supernatural/dark fantasy genre. I particularly enjoyed the setting of the small town, providing an eerie vibe throughout the story while keeping a fine balance of fright, action and romance. The range of genres intertwined the book is well woven, keeping the story arch at a good pace and easy to follow.

I would recommend anyone that is a fan of paranormal romances / dark fantasy novels to pick up a copy of Susanne Leist’s debut novel, The Dead Game, and get lost in this mysterious horror novel.
