Our #bowiebookclub pick this month is the very non-feel-good novel/short stories “Last Exit to Brooklyn.” By Hubert Selby Jr.

Found a good moment to enjoy the physical copy i treated myself with of "Deathly Sorrow: A collection of Dark Poetry" put together by Tony Newton.
A couple years ago i was lucky enough to get two poems in here. I've enjoyed seeing some of the films/docs he's been apart of, so i was pretty excited to be apart of this - even if it was just two little poems :) It was an honor!
So you want dark poetry, go get a copy on amazon!

A sociopath with all of the energetic markings of Syrimne, a deadly telekinetic who killed thousands during World War I, he doesn’t appear to have aged in one hundred years.

Worse, he thinks Allie belongs to him.
