Into the Void of Horror: Sonnets of Fear

Into the Void of Horror: Sonnets of Fear

By: Lis Lovén

The poet, artist, and translator Lis Lovén is very aware of her Swedish heritage. This includes, of course, all kinds of poetry but also crime novels. How about if the Swedish writer tries to lift horror to a new level? Well, let's find out. In these provoking sonnets, the poet has come to understand a classical form as something that can merge into fiction of fear. Fear, as we know it, should get to the core of the heart to bring about a catharsis, or a relief. Suddenly, when returning back to ordinary life, we have been given a glimpse of everything we tried to escape. Do you dare step into the Void Of Horror once again? Or do you wish you had never opened this book?
