Daughters of Lilith is a collaborative effort between poet, Donna Lynch, and artist, Steven Archer. Pulling from each other's art, they've created a collection that speaks to saints, demons, and mistresses alike, something so horrifying and innocent that it's hard to look to away...and I suggest that you don't.
Each piece, both art and poem, speaks of fairy tales and prayers, but I can promise you it's not the myths and lullabies that you're used to. It's something darker, deeper, and more vicious than what you remember your mother reading to you before you closed your eyes to sleep. It's a prayer to monsters and a hymn to serpents. I'd suggest reading it, but this book isn't something that you just read. You digest it, hear it, watch it, and feel it come to life in your hands. It's some of the most alluring art that I've experienced, and I'd highly recommend giving in to the siren's song.
