Synopsis
John Gale's prose poems are finely-polished decadent gems, each an exquisitely-cut tragedy pared to its archetypal essentials. The perfumes of the East suffuse these tales of poets, lovers and kings who, despite the luxury and beauty of their surroundings, desire something beyond. Sensually poetic and melancholic, there is a profound darkness beneath the surface glamour of John Gale's tales. "A Damask of the Dead" is a collection to be relished by those who admire sophisticated prose and the Gothic Romanticism of the Decadents.
