Annotation: A Dirge for the Temporal, Darren Speegle's second collection of
fiction, bursts with sensations. A Dirge lingers on the dark mystery of the
supernatural, creates the giddy feeling of fear mixed with excitement, that only
comes from partial revelations, things half-glimpsed and misty. Like H.P.
Lovecraft or Edgar Allen Poe, Speegle's stories belong to the twilight hour, just
after the glorious reds and golds of sunset have slipped away giving warning
that total darkness is quickly approaching.
