La Petite Mort by Eli Wilde
4.0
For starters, I love a book that forces me to turn occasionally to a dictionary. It definitely adds strength to the writing and allows the reader to really take in the words on the page. Eli Wilde does this beautifully without seeming heavy-handed or like a 4th grader with a thesaurus.
In this magnificent collection of poetry, Eli shows the reader the insecure, forgotten side of a monster who only invokes fear. Safely behind the pages of this book, we can explore the universal tragic thinking of a vampire - one that seems to not be of the shiny Edward Cullen variety.
The telling of a story of longing, confusion, and love through the eyes of a blood-lustful vampire is unique. I fully enjoyed this collection.
This book is definitely more well-suited for adults or older teens as there are some dark themes, mentions of sexual content and overall violence associated with destruction of self/humanity.
