    Description:

    A dark, daring addition to the vampire genre, this is a collection of rhyming and freestyle poetry that explores the often taboo themes of power, possession and seduction. Emotionally charging, each poem is written from a different perspective, be it the hunter or the hunted and inspires a deeper look into the psychology of the human mind and the darker aspects of human relationships and society.

    Author

    Dianna Hardy

    Dianna Hardy is an international bestselling author of (cross-genre) fantasy fiction, most notable for her dark paranormal fantasy and the raw, intense Eye of the Storm series. But her heart-warming Once Times Thrice series proves she thrives in the light as much as the dark. Whatever your poison, what she loves most is to bring you stories that are action-packed, fast-paced and not short of heat, with the focus on character development, relationship dynamics, and the plot. She writes full-length novels and short fiction.Although quite active online, Dianna prefers the quiet company of nature and animals to the hustle and bustle of people. She loves anything paranormal (she doesn't really consider it "para"), organic food, walking barefoot, the smell of the woods after rain, and summer days. However, she is also sustained by coffee, chocolate and the occasional vodka.Having graduated from Richmond Drama School (London) in '98, she spent the next few years in a multitude of jobs (both acting and non-acting), studying anything that fascinated her, searching her soul, and finally found her passion where it had always been: at the end of a pen.She currently lives in South Hampshire (United Kingdom) with her fiancé and their daughter, where she writes full-time.

      A Silver Kiss (Vampire Poetry) - Dianna Hardy

      Within the Shamanic teachings of most ancient traditions, there is the shadow self. The shadow self is everything that you fear and hate, everything that you dare not speak and try in vain never to think. Yet, it is only by befriending this shadow, that we finally come to discover who we truly are and want to be and most importantly, who we are not.

      The vampire (or vampyre) is a creature greatly impressed upon our consciousness. From True Blood, to Buffy The Vampire Slayer, to the original Nosferatu and Bram Stoker's famous Dracula, and countless of movies and books in between, the vampire calls to us, insisting it has something we need.

      From old Romanian village beliefs, to strange happenings in both secluded and bustling areas of the world, the vampire calls to us and reminds us of the dangers of not heeding our shadow self.

      You cannot hide from everything that you are. Your dark places exist in all of your realities and form the very essence of who you are. Your dark created your light. Befriend your shadow.

      A silver kiss I'll give to you,

      upon your eyes, upon your throat.

      Trust me and see all of who

      you will be... come.

      Dianna Hardy

      6th October, 2010

      Additional Note: I'm very proud, at readers' requests, to be able to bring you this eBook as a small paperback. The original was a trade paperback size and almost everyone asked, said that they would prefer a smaller book to hold. The response to this collection of poetry has been astounding, with so many positive reviews, that I'm planning my schedule so I can bring you more vampire poetry. All updates can be viewed at my website, www.diannahardy.com

      A big 'thanks', for all your continued support!

      20th July, 2011

      This book is dedicated to my Shadow.

      You and I both know who you are.

      you will be... come."
