I have come into this world to see this:
the sword drop from men’s hands even at the height
of their arc of anger
because we have finally realized there is just one flesh to wound

This is a story for those who have looked love and pain in the face and knew what it could cost and the odds that it would and yet would never, ever, have done it differently.
This is the scream you may just need.
I am in awe."
The full text of the review:
"There is violence in this text. Blood. Desecration. But it is a violence so layered, so right, that it felt necessary.
This is a story for those who love vampirical tales and those who think they never would.

My friend @edebell.com of @atthisarts.com went so feral for The Night Sweeps the Mountains Away, I just had to share her review!
Looking for nudes? You could get this velvety and squeezable ardeadoris cruenta aka the "stained with blood" nudibranch, currently going for about half the price I'd sell it for, so get in there!!!

Thanks so much! 💜
The book The Night Sweeps the Mountains Away by Tanvir Ahmed. In the cover illustration, a woman in a dark robe, with her head covered, sits with her hand on a white dog. They're overlooking a valley, with mountains beyond.
The Night Sweeps the Mountains Away by Tanvir Ahmed - I always look forward to a new book from @dancingstarpress.com, and this sounds like a fascinating story of exile and magic. And I've been promised a very good dog.

Lock the doors, snuggle into the covers, and escape our world for another, where two people who should not know each other end up changing each other's lives."
Thank you so much for the kind words!
The full review:
"I had the luck to publish Tanvir's short story "A Dervish Among the Graves of Ghazni," so was highly delighted to discover he had something longer coming out. The Night Sweeps the Mountains Away is dark, lyrical, and haunting, a disconcerting journey you won't regret taking.
