title: Falling Night and Rising Day: Book of Swords
author:  Rachel Strayer 
description: "This isn't a book for everyone. But the fusion of Plathian poetry, Tarot symbolism, and musical references throughout (Beatles, Apocalyptica, Lacuna Coil, etc.)--complemented by some effective and well-wrought illustrations--make this an intriguing reading experience." -<i>BlueInk Review</i>
