Having read so many other books on the subject, Ronda takes you on a detailed journey of the process she goes through to meet her true self.  I really appreciated her openness and would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in asking the important life questions that leads to finding your true self.  Anyone who feels that something is missing or feeling confused or just wants to change their life for the better would benefit from her wisdom and knowledge.  Important information for our times!

This book of poems is moody and rather prosy, but I thought the author expressed his emotion well. It is a good read for someone who likes dark poetry. It may be helpful to persons going through difficult times, as it expresses deep pain and sometimes helplessness (not all of the poems are dark-some are uplifting).

Here is a story of a worst case event which leads to something amazing.

Not all of it is good as there is an underlying darkness which needs to be uncovered.

Enjoy, if you dare.

In my dotage I find myself turning away from pieces this dark and real and powerful. I might find I love it by the time I'm through, but it's a powerful dose of darkness to steep one's soul in.

Absolutely beautiful book with a lightly balanced mix of the prosaic and the extraordinary.  The author goes gently into that dark night but moves into it with fierce grace and appreciation, seeking insight every step of the way.

Dr. Klauer's book opens the mind and boggles the senses with truths that need serious consideration. This book is soul touching in its resonance of what appears almost to be a near death experience.  I have found it compelling and worthy of defiling the pages with bent edges and underscores of passages that continue to illuminate my soul in intimate and profound ways. A book to be savored over and over again.

I'm a child of the night too! "Blessed Are You" is for all the night fanatics. Finally, a great song about the night. This album has many dark evil night tunes. "Burning Times" is about the Spanish Inquistion. A lot of their tortures were done in the night. "Reaping Stone" is about an evil orb, but it takes place in the night. Forget the orb, just give me the NIGHT! NIGHT must always be shown in capital letters. Iced Earth has given me the greatest night album since 1987, with Savatag. NIGHT!

Dark Musings is a collection of stories touching on people's fears. Most people when faced with  their biggest fear will never challenger it.  This collection is dark, eerie and eye opening:  Each story  has an underlying message.  I have to say some stories are very disturbing. ,  Very  nice touch by the author adding an Afterwood at the the end of each story.  A great read. .  I recommend  this collection of short stories and hopefully there will be a second collection of short stories by this author..

Very good dark tale. Kept me reading. Hughes was a very good noir writer.

This album nicely showcases Rufus' piano playing, poetry writing, and composition skills. It is filled with dark, yet mysteriously beautiful sadness. Rufus fans will love the album; I'd recommend another album such as Poses or Want for Rufus-newcomers.

Very interesting directions this album takes place. Very emotional and after it is over I feel this is a dark masterpiece. Takes awhile and some listens to get into. Starts off slow and more classical/orchestral with an operatic atmophere they have used in the past but with the addition of the Adelaide orchestra it creates a very interesting soundscape. After that, they recreate the legendary song "Drink the Midnight Hymn" into a dark and doomy recreation "Midnight's Hymn" which is memorizing. From there the album turns into a gloomy and sorrowful experince blending and turning more into doom metal and gothic metal and rock with "and I am suffering" and "domine". Terrific album. I can't wait to hear the next two that come out.

During the early days of Darkthrone, they knew they wanted to not be death metal as it was practiced by others, but had not yet found the religion of Bathory and Celtic Frost that opened their eyes to black metal. Thus "Soulside Journeys" was created in a style of death metal technique and black metal presentation that is best described as "dark metal."
Tempos are generally slower or mid-paced, and riffing uses the abrasive Swedish-Sunlight-Studios-style distortion to mask contemplative melodic riffs which unfold slowly into themes across the course of each song. Mood is regulated with graceful poise in rhythm and cadence, and delivery on the level of the subtle building to the intense, a reversal from how death metal sees things. Vocals are low but rasping, as a precursor of black metal to come, and the avant-prog drumming of wizard Fenriz (Hank Amarillo) is impressive in its own right.
This album rests against the other Darkthrone albums on my shelf but is not of the same ilk, nor the same mood - where blackmetal is perfect for a dark midnight fury, this album is best suited to the calm hours of the night when all things are ambiguous, and mortal fear can be understood in its only meaningful context, isolation.

This is a quite remarkable book, one that it is hard to commend highly enough.
Amongst other things it puts before the reader, as simply as I have read anywhere, a description of The Dark Night of the Soul, but that is just one of many of the Treasures of Darkness this book contains.

Poor ole heartbroken Ed. Out night wandering in the small college town of Wilmington. May want to rethink the whole midnight strolling thang. You don't want to be out after dark in this town with all the night loonies and trolls. You just may get the works. And you do not want that. Trust me.

Some authors have a certain ease about their writing and their stories seem to float along with little effort. Laymon is like that. Dark, creepy, atmospheric. I wasn't sure where this one was going, but it wasn't about the destination, it was about the journey. 4.5 Amazon Stars and Highly Recommended.

With each of their dark concept cds, Nox Arcana creates nightmarish landscapes that surround the listener with haunting melodies that have been expertly crafted to conjure a specific mood. Following last year's gothic opus "Transylvania," Nox Arcana dares listeners to enter the "Carnival of Lost Souls" to explore the foreboding grounds of a sinister old-time sideshow circus after dark. Whereas the band's past albums have paid homage to masters of literary horror such as H.P. Lovecraft and Bram Stoker, "Carnival of Lost Souls" is a tip of the top hat to Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes." Joseph Vargo and William Piotrowski take on the roles of gothic ringmasters for the frightful festivities that ensue, delivering 21 unsettling tracks that range from ghostly choirs to fully-orchestrated symphonic masterpieces. After a diabolical carnival barker introduces "Ghost of the Midway," the tour of terror begins. On "After Hours," one gets the feeling of walking along the midway, stepping with trepidation from one dimly lit area to the next, following whispers that lead you further into the shadows. On "Madame Endora," the creepy voice of a gypsy fortune-teller warns you of the grim fate that awaits unwary trespassers. Tracks like "Calliope," "Haunted Carousel," and "Living Dolls" echo childhood nightmares while "Soul Stealer," "Circus Diabolique," and "The Devil's Daggers" are dramatic  pulse-pounders, and the exotic Middle-Eastern rhythms of "Snake Charmer" set a darkly sensuous mood. Every single track on this cd oozes with gothic atmosphere as mystery and menace mingle to create a  realm of dark wonders. If you're thinking of a theme for this year's Halloween party, get this cd and let your guests explore the horrors that lurk in the "Carnival of Lost Souls."

Found this to be more of a biography than  really focusing on Mother Teresa's dark night of the soul. It was well told and  very enjoyable.
