Review: Love the Peter Books

Imaginative author William O'Brien has given us another wonderful installment in the 'Peter' series of prose and poetry books with this awesome collection of surrealistic verse. The fairy tale world of ghosts and goblins reminded me of one of my all time favorite verse narratives, Christina Rosetti's 'Goblin Market' - that dark, disturbing blend of elements that might appeal to children but has been twisted by the writer into something much darker and more intense for adults. I recommend reading 'Peter - A Darkened Fairytale' along with this book for a full immersion into O'Brien's universe. The poems are haunting and stay with you. This is a welcome addition to a highly original series.
