A review by neven
Voice of the Fire by Alan Moore
5.0
An overwhelmingly rich book, constantly harrowing and occasionally heartbreaking. It tells a dozen tales in radically different voices, putting you in some heads you'd never want to visit otherwise.
Moore's poetry is as purple and as earnestly effective as ever. If there's a flaw to the book, it's that the strained connections between the stories often distract from the present plot. They're necessary to the concept, but also repetitive. This doesn't harm the book much; you'll need that respite from some of Moore's visions.
