Description

This is the ultimate collection of short fiction and poetry by author, Steven Walker. Original full color artwork by the author is also included in this first edition collector masterpiece worthy of academic study by both readers and writers alike. In life, we all experience pain and heartache that at some point leaves us teetering and ready to stumble over the line that defines the state of madness. Castle Alabaster is a collection of short fiction and poetry that reflects the author's own personal struggle with these feelings, and it includes valuable footnotes to denote historical and contemporary references as well as explain writing methods, style and structure. There is a theme that weaves all the works together. It is a dark and macabre thread that explores all the places in the human mind we are forbidden to reveal or openly discuss despite the common link to which almost everyone can secretly relate in some aspect of their life experiences. The text explores the blackest and most hidden thoughts that we dare not divulge, but in the end, the culmination of all the work leads to a positive path that provides hope and motivation to carry on in life...hope for the future, and the ability to cast off the weight of the past's most tragic moments. Literary and historical references are footnoted throughout the book, and information regarding style and structure of specific literary forms that are meant to instruct writers and educate readers is included throughout the text. Walker has crafted words unmatched by any of his contemporary peers, and he uses multiple forms of artwork, including photography, pencil, ink, pastels, acrylic, oil, watercolor and more in combinations to create each image in order to provide a specific effect to match the "feeling" he attempts to provoke in his text. Some pieces are raw and minimalistic in their style, while other pictures appear detailed and intricately crafted to fit the mood that his text transcends to the reader. Most of the poetry is meant to not only be viewed, but also be read aloud in order to gain the highest appreciation for elements of alliteration and words that either sound the same or are spelled identically but have different meanings. Each word is crafted with excruciating passion for effect, and each sentence has meaning beyond what might be missed in a quick passing. Words, styles, themes and references are often referred to, repeated or linked to multiple stories and poems in order to create a macabre thread that weaves each individual work together with the rest of the compilation. Each story or poem is a masterpiece that can stand on its own, but together, the collection is unsurpassed as a cumulative work.
