A letter-anonymously penned, details a journey through a landscape of terrifying possibilities. Voces Animarum welcomes you to walk the thin line between reality and nightmare. But, don't think for a moment that Vate C. Carmen is going to allow you to simply walk a straight narrative line. No! At moments, the reader will be directed to step into the evils of one realm, and then into the horrors of another. Sometimes, the reader will be directed to both places simultaneously...and, be sealed within an echo chamber of tortured souls. For some, this is familiar territory. It is a sphere traversed by a psychologically sensitive minority.

You can feel the intent behind each color or shade chosen. Some amazing work. I look forward to this group's next collaboration as well as their independent works. ~Corey JonesKintsugi is the Japanese art of mending broken things by piecing them back together, filling the cracks with gold. This process allows for something thought to be broken to in fact be transformed into something new. This artistic expression celebrates the flaws and imperfections and some maybe even argue, improves upon what once was. The Shattered Psyche Anthology is a wonderful expression of the Kintsugi concept. The artists take the broken and shattered pieces of their psyche and mend them beautifully back together in art form. Metaphorically lacing the world within their mind together with the tangible world of art right in front of the viewer. The artists allegorically mold what's shattered into something whole and exciting. The art here is striking and stunning and the book is with its weight in gold. ~Joe Mykut, author of Beautiful Boy

Shattered Psyche Vol 1(2) is a florilegium of modern art by Canadian artist Marie Moldovan and American artist Alycia Hodge.Shattered Psyche is an angelic display of artistry with its halo held up by its horns. The line between angelic and demonic is blurred and blended like the brush strokes of the work displaying that very theme. The theme as old as time, the separation and polarization of good and evil, finds a common devil's playground here in this book. Beautiful artwork skirts the edges of darkness and luminance with precision and raw expression. The seraph and hellions both must surely covet and envy the works betwixt the covers of this publication. What a way so clever, to artistically dissever, the lines that divide the good that are the better, from the bad that are the lesser. --- Joe Mykut, author of Beautiful Boy¿

This is the story of a little boy, who like many, was born bright and wonderful and without a worry in the world. Then, with one experience after another, he slowly lost his sense of wonder. Can Beautiful boy get back his wonder and magic or has his light seen its last shine?Beautiful Boy targets the demands of the world, that exist even at a young age, to conform to a grueling polarized state of being. A world where one must be all or nothing, one or the other, and nothing in the middle. This story specifically addresses the impact this social demand has not only on the family structure, but also gender norms and roles, and the ability for one to merely exist safely among peer groups. Beautiful Boy tells the story of their journey struggling to navigate a world where being themself is a crime at every turn. Boy not only learns to love them self even when that seems impossible, embracing even the parts of them that hurts the most.

"20 Years of Winter" is a peek into the dark side of Marie's life as a soldier. When s/he sat down to write this collection of autobiographical poetry, he/r goal was to take back he/r voice and step into the season of FREEDOM.Winter can be the most savage of the seasons. It is cold, harsh and unforgiving. During this time, life comes to a standstill, hibernating to the point of near death. Existing only deep down, away from the life-threatening conditions. This book, "20 Years of Winter" follows the author's spirit through such a season in her own life. One that rivals 20 years of ravishing winds and frigid temperatures enough to chill to the bones. A season of dark and dangerous experiences in her life, that at times took that very life from her. Her spirit candidly lives through some of the most unimaginable and horrific moments penned along these pages. This is quiet literally a survival story of one's soul that evokes the spirit of the polar bear to survive such conditions with little to no resources, the hibernating spirit of the brown bear to disassociate from moments that would otherwise split one's mind, and the cunningness of the winter hare to prove not to be such an easy prey. Marie's spirit and will, to not only survive but to fight back in a blizzard of spiritual and epic proportions is inspirational to say the least! This is an intense read for even the seasoned reader but worth every moment. The author faces the worst season of her lifetime and sets fire to the winter to give way to the spring of her own soul. ~Joe Mykut
