Overview

Descent into Darkness is a raw exploration of the mind's most shadowed corners. This collection of poetry and prose navigates the heavy silence of isolation, the sharp sting of betrayal, and the agonizing weight of secrets long kept. It is a journey into the ""private hells"" we build for ourselves, where memories become ghosts and the reflection in the mirror reveals a rot that cannot be hidden. Through a landscape of shattered houses and creaking floorboards, these works capture the moments where hope is banished and the darkness finally wins. Stripped of unnecessary ornamentation and governed by a strict economy of punctuation, each word is an ""earned"" step into the abyss. Featured: The Fog Variations The collection concludes with a unique formal study of a single concept: The Fog. Through the haunting repetition of the Villanelle, the observant journey of the Haibun, and the chilling narrative of Flash Fiction, the author demonstrates how one suffocating moment can be reshaped across different literary forms. Witness the descent. Face the void. Accept the darkness.
