| Wordsmiths |
You've been warned that Sophia shows her dark side this issue. But the question
remains: can the dark side of fiction be beautiful? Can the primordial scream of
terror be considered art?
If artists throughout the centuries are ANY indication, the answer is a resounding
YES! Those artists whose work we love and admire in museums depict Hell and
damnation. Today their work is considered the ultimate in artistic expression. We
see classic examples of William Blake and Leonardo da Vinci revealing the
torments of the damned. If the written word is “art” as we at Liquid Imagination
claim—as storytelling was considered a sacred art when bards roamed Gaul—then
the stories you are about to read belong to the world of art. The words that flow
into a character’s scream; the surreal; the tale with morals: they are all here, and
they are ALL art—the artistry of words… the power of the Wordsmiths.
