And a bit late

; soft gloam of evening as the

gloom of night looms; world consumed

by shadows as darkness blooms.

Color fades, comes the gloaming

; light fades to dusk as gloam roams.

gloom plumes from the tomb; an

all-consuming feeling of

doom, as the gloam of death looms.

Jack Mackay's #GLOAM proved to be a welcome dose of wickedness. It's gleefully creepy and full of unsettling imagery, while also tackling themes of family, legacy and loss in a very moving way. Fab illustrations by Ben Joel Price too. See below for for one of my faves. 👌

Devoured #Gloam by Jack Mackay & loved it! Bone-chillingly scary & menacing with a villain I will not forget easily. Beautifully written & wrapped in mist,dark danger,threaded with grief, loss, the meaning of family. Broodingly beautiful illustrations by Ben Joel Price.
