Themes of graphic violence, bloodshed, rape, and suicide mark this unsuitable for the faint of heart. The use of blank verse to recount the protagonist’s plunge into a whirlwind of killing and mania adds to the intrigue. Langevin explores despondency as the ultimate manifestation of beauty in “Lucritia,” “Niobe,” and “Lilah”. “Insomnia” conveys the protagonist’s own personal hell.

The darkness seeps into the narrative in the very beginning: In “Death’s Affair” Langevin writes” “I’m whirling her around by her neck,/ Smashing her legs into the sheet of rock rising behind the waterfall/ Until they spew blood, their bones crack and pierce flesh”. Langevin uses the supernatural to take the reader through twenty-eight-year-old Zylen LaRocque’s descent into insanity as he pines for the fathomless love of Death. Langevin’s engrossing narrative poetry captures its depressive protagonist’s tortured reckoning with Death.
