What starts out as a beautifully dark description that would ignite any Poe reader, moves through page after page, of a read that grips at ones heart. Hartzenburg's short story, Suicide Song, is breathtakingly poignantly written. Every scene is vivid and real, a mark of masterful writing. It is a story of a very dark place, a life lost all too soon, but done in such an uplifting well written way that one can only feel amazement as they journey through from what starts with a song and ends with a song. The heart of the author is vivid in this book, the intense pain of suffering needless loss that is never forgotten, screams from the pages. So loud is this voice that one can only wonder if those who have departed are shining down on her as if to say, "Thank you for remembering. Thank you for being our friend."
