The Devil's Thesaurus (The Celestial Compendium)

An emotionally-charged collection of poems seeking to define the most powerful emotion of all.

What is love? In a painstaking effort to answer this question, the nameless narrator takes the reader on a tumultuous journey of true love gone direly sour.

Through poignant poetic storytelling in a unique dictionary format, Sam Faulk reveals the onslaught of emotion in the wake of a marriage’s covert deconstruction.

Beyond a mere collection of emotive poems, The Devil’s Thesaurus serves as an outlet to grieve not only the loss of a lover or the opportunity at fatherhood, but also the loss of self.

Ambiguous, reckless, strenuous, and vacant… These are only a few of the adjectives that sum up the culmination of events that transpire throughout this book’s pages.

Are you ready to go on a journey filled with feelings of life, loss and love? Then grab your copy of The Devil's Thesaurus today!
