Vampire Tears

by Ally Thomas

In this first collection of poetry, Ally Thomas focuses on her love of paranormal creatures, primarily vampires. Think of it as walking through the minds of various vampires. You witness their confessions, their delights, their fears, their trepidations, their doubts, and their tears. Many of the 50 poems, written in free verse, are ‘dark poetry’ and each reveals the vampire’s heart and soul filled with a variety of emotions – regret or rejoice, longing or loving, perhaps anger or rage, and even moments of quiet desperation left unspoken.

Genres: Paranormal

77 pages, Kindle Edition

I'm not one to normally pick up a book on poetry but the author is a friend of mine and of course I was going to support her and read this along with all the other books in her "Vampire From Hell" series. I've got to say that I usually relay my thoughts after I finish a book of hers but, crazy enough, I was telling her all through it how much I was really enjoying all these poems (more like personal trips into the vampires minds). Really interesting stuff here. And not in the pretty sexy nowadays vamps. These are dark and disturbing and very thoughtful. I was intrigued all the way to the end. Give it a go. You'll be surprised how captivated you become.

Do you love all things paranormal? Do you love Vampires? How about adding Poetry to it? This is one thrilling Vampire Book of Poetry through the eyes of Vampires. It's entertaining & really well written. Something a little different that paranormal readers need to read. The poems are enlightening & highly enjoyable. A brilliant book by a brilliant author, thank you.

A collection of vampire poetry, really. As I was reading the collection, I couldn't help imagining an old beatnik bar. A smoked-filled cellar with a small stage with a poet wearing a beret, smoking a cigarette, recites his poetry as the audience snaps its fingers. It is time to drop out and tune in, man. Except these poets are vampires and their drug of choice is human blood. The poems seem to vibrate between vampires who hate their existence and long for release to vampires extolling the total wonder of their undead existence.

I can't honestly say that I'm a huge fan of vampires. I don't think being bitten would be that appealing. Eternal (undead) life isn't all that it is cracked up to be. So I tend to want to smack any vampire that whines about his tormented existence. On the other hand, I really can't go along with those vampires saying, "I am like a god now" either. Life isn't that bad really. I always think of those people with terminal illnesses that decide to make the most of the time they have left. They would tell vampires to go bite themselves because they have things to do.

But I can see how vampires would appeal to some. For those people, this collection of poetry will be perfect. So if you are in the pro-vampire camp, grab your beret, (skip the cigarettes, they kill non-vampires) and get those fingers to snapping.

I would call this one a 3.5 star book.

I was totally captivated.

This collection of poems was a brilliant idea! totally unique, I was captivated by the first line and couldn't stop reading until I reached the end.

My favorite one was Blood and Friendship, which talks about loneliness of existence. "I want to know your hopes your dreams, your fears... just beautiful!

Paranormal poetry may not be everyone's cup of tea, or blood :P But after deciding to write poetry told from the point of view of vampires, I had a blast writing this. Another poetry book is in the works.
