Download As PDF : Eden Underground Poetry of Darkness eBook Alessandro Manzetti 
Another snake, another tree, another Eve.
A Bram Stoker Awards® winning dark poetry collection from Italy’s Alessandro Manzetti.
Eden Underground is a surreal journey into obsessions and aberrations of the modern world and its darker side, which often takes control of the situation. Madness, violence, aberrant sex, war, hallucinations, sadism, disturbing archetypes these are the black fruits of human loneliness, these are the bloody roots of Eden Underground.
In this untold world, men and women build their deformed, artificial underground Eden, where they can unleash their dark side.
Death is the hidden queen of these strange places designed by human alienation harem of silicone dolls who come to life, abandoned warehouses with copper tubs full of broken pieces of Eve, a bloody collection of copies of the first primordial woman, imaginary worlds inspired by the ghosts of the drug, small Eden dug into the bowels of the sand of war, trenches for refuge from too much horror, the religious fanaticisms and their heretics and violent Eden stained with blood, open air glittering brothels turned into landfills of souls and lost loves.
Haven't you ever heard the loneliness knocking at your door? Or the steps of our dark side, freed from the body and the cage of our conscience, that is coming to take us with a shimmering cleaver in its hand? In Eden Underground you can hear all these ghostly noises, too real, too close.

Eden Underground Poetry of Darkness eBook Alessandro Manzetti
Lucifer, the Beast,shows the man the rooms of Hell;
the swollen corridors,
the chandeliers made of bone and onyx,
the black bulbs,
screwed cancers,
ten per group,
ten per room.
The metastases of the bottom of the Earth
lit by darkness.
Excerpted from The Tenth Circle
Poetry, it’s an odd genre. When you mention the word to someone, some think of rhyming words or fluffy verses; to others it may be that stuff you had to sit through in English class. And then there are those who have read Edgar Allan Poe and know it can be so much more. Alessandro Manzetti dispels those thoughts of the uninitiated; his dark verses bring poetry to an entirely different level. The title, Eden Underground, says it all; it is not at all the garden you thought you knew.
As you begin to read, you’ll find that the words flow like magic; a dark sensuous musicality intertwining with the visions in your head. Deceptive titles like Green Apples, Eastern Heaven, Lacrimosa, and The Garden, hide the reality of the prose. These poems allow one to glimpse the desolate underbelly of humanity without dirtying themselves.
When I was first given this book I thought “Okay, I’ll read a few poems now and perhaps a few more later.” Instead I found I couldn’t put it down. So intense is the writing that I had to keep reading. If you have never read a book of poetry before or if you never thought you could be a fan of poetry let this book be the one to introduce you to the words of verse. Alessandro Manzetti is mesmerizing, so much in fact that I just bought Venus Intervention, an earlier book of his poetry co-authored with Corrine De Winter. I am not disappointed!
It would be remiss of me to not address the eye-catching cover; it’s brilliantly done by Vincent Chong. It evokes visions of despair, I want to look inside and see what is being kept within. Oh, and I am pleasantly surprised! There are striking illustrations scattered throughout the pages by Paolo Di Orazio. And of course, I must mention the back cover work is done by none other than Ben Baldwin.
Truly this is not a book to miss. This review was also posted on horrornovelreviews.com.

Eden Underground Poetry of Darkness eBook Alessandro Manzetti Reviews
Alessandro Manzetti is a master at creating worlds with the music of words. Dark worlds where nothing is what it seems. Where shadows are deep and the light is too bright. Brutal worlds where suffering is real and the worst of the worst waits right around the corner. These poems — beautifully written with a skill that, at times, borders on brilliant — take you by the hand and drag you into these fearful places and then, sometimes, drop you abruptly in the middle of the maze, after yet another hairpin turn, leaving you to stumble as you find your own way out. That’s what great writing, and great poetry, should do and Alessandro does it well.
But it’s what happens after the poem, after you’ve closed the book or you’ve plugged in your to charge, that makes this worth the read. Manzetti’s words haunt you. You’ll find certain phrases sneaking into your thoughts. “flesh trophy” “scepter of bones” “the mollusc of your white pearl soul” The rhythmic play of the words. The syncopation. The inescapable visuals they slam you with. And, curious, you’ll find yourself revisiting the page, convinced there’s more to discover beneath the words. Eager to see what you might have missed.
And that’s where it gets good because Alessandro’s poems, at first glance, offer you only the surface of what he’s creating. But it’s like an onion, what you first see only the top layer. But beneath that first read wait many other layers, like levels in Hell. Layers of thought, of dread, of fear, of redemption and regret. Of the worst of the worst of us. Wounded souls captured in Alessandro’s stanzas, eager to sneak through the cracks and follow you into your waking life, like shadows. Or ghosts.
This is the brilliance of Eden Underground. And this is why it’s a work I’ll be revisiting again and again.
This is horror poetry at its best! Nothing in Eden Underground Poetry of Darkness is made to look like there might be a good side to it. Alessandro Manzetti shows the depravity of the human condition, and displays it with total honesty. When Alessandro tells of prostitution, death, and depravity, he shoots from the hip and his aim is true. Dark, intense, and disgusting jump out at you from the pages, the revolting truth surrounding you, pulling you in even though you wish to escape. But there is no escape, not even when you have finished this outstanding collection, for your mind cannot expel what has been absorbed. Sleepless nights? Yes, you will have many. But that is why you read horror, is it not?
Alessandro has done his job exquisitely. Horror poetry is alive and well.
Alessandro Manzetti summons a darkness that will haunt you long after you put the book down. Eden Underground Poetry of Darkness is a beautifully eclectic collection. Each poem offers a different terrific visual that is sure to give you goosebumps and make your flesh creep!
I'll be the first to admit that poetry is usually hit or miss - This collection is definitely a hit! The first thing that sets this book apart from the rest, is Alessandro Manzetti's uncanny ability to weave chilling images into the reader's mind. These images refuse to leave, flashing over and over again until they consume you. This book isn't just words on a page, it's a journey through fears, adventures, and heart pounding suspense.
This is by far one of the best poetry collections available. Poetry, specifically horror poetry, is an art form and Alessandro Manzetti has mastered that art form. I was blown away by the rich poems, vivid versus, and emotional rawness there is to each of these poems.
It's a fast read and surely one you'll return to time after time when you're looking for that surge of adrenaline.
