Darker Loves

Praise For James Dorr's Fiction & Poetry...

"James Dorr's work is for those who want to be whisked away from their day to day reality and taken to other places and eras... There's not an ordinary tale to be found. This is Dark Fantasy in the fullest sense of the term, not as a euphemism for horror." --Garret Peck, Cemetery Dance

"Contemporary spook yarns, historical fantasies of many lands and eras, oriental fables -- all these and more benefit from Dorr's skilled touch... Additionally, in a selection of poems, he reveals himself to be a fine versifier as well." --Paul Di Fillipo, Asimov's SF

"Pulp Fantasy, supernatural horror, magical realism, folklore retold and revitalized -- these are just some of the elements Dorr draws upon to create worlds and characters at once recognizable and strange. A hybrid of fantasy and storytelling, these 14 stories and 13 poems (reprints and originals) are equal parts of nightmare and dream unified by a persistent sense of awe... Dorr's fictions nod to literary traditions without playing slave to them, resulting in what I can only describe as modern myths universal in theme while intimate in approach." --William P. Simmons, Hellnotes
