Soft Apocalypses

Lucy Snyder’s stories are the sort that carry you away to unusual places, usually dark ones, and this collection is a perfect example. As the follow-up to the Bram Stoker Award winning collection Soft Apocalypses, it contains plenty of darkly imaginative tales. Many of these stories, including the title piece, are heavily influenced by the work of H.P. Lovecraft and The King in Yellow mythos. They whisper madly among each other creating weird echoes. Like the black stars of theoretical astronomy they are dense entities born from polarization so strong that instead of collapsing into nothingness, a black hole, they instead form dark constellations burning dimly with spectral light.

    We will use the blood of this world to write dark, beautiful poetry across the walls of the universe.

    was bound, though I have not bound.

    I was not recognized. But I have recognized

    that the All is being dissolved,

    both the earthly and the heavenly.

    –The Gospel of Mary Magdalene
  • Lunahar citeretsidste år
    But she smiles at me, and I find myself smiling back, warmed by the first spark of real human feeling I’ve had in months. I have to believe that we’re still human. I have to.
