I've probably done it all the wrong way round. I first discovered Jeffrey Kosh through his erotic tales,Thrill of the HuntandHome Invasionwhich I thought were fab. But this little piece of writing is a jewel.There's something special about this writer. He has fantastic skills at writing what I can only refer to as dark poetry. Beautiful description after beautiful description he draws you into his world, but never overloading you with information. There's nothing unnecessary in the text. He guides your imagination with the way he presents the main elements, the rest you can imagine for yourself. That said, the way he sets the tone, I'm sure I ended up imagining the rest the way he and everybody else would. You end up with this very dark picture, all black, grey, and dark shades of colour. But it's not dull. Not at all. It's perfect for the story, a tale of bitter revenge.It's nice to come across a modern writer who is out of the ordinary, who reminds you of old Classics and literary treasures. It's refreshing. It's great.
