Gothic Poetry Nihilist’s Bible A Poetry Anthology of Dark Poems by Stewart Storrar

Dynamic, authentic, brilliant, and thought provoking, Nihilist's Bible is the debut poetry collection from the young Scottish writer, Stewart Storrar. This first piece of full-length work from Stewart delves into the darker recesses of the human condition and explores what it means to be human in the modern world. From struggling with trauma and his own identity, to dealing with what feels like an alien world, Stewart shares in inner-most thoughts about his life, mental illness, grief, loss, and heart break in his passionate collection of free verse. In his love for poetry he found an outlet of expression that would end up saving his life, even if it took him half a decade to realise it.

Drawing inspiration for his poetry from nihilism, particularly moral and existential nihilism, Stewart blurs the line between different philosophical schools of thought and emotive poetry in what he describes as, "exploring the darker part of his truest self".

So, peel the page back, absorb his words, and allow these poems to help you explore your own human condition in a profound way.

Content warning: this poetry collection touches on some ideas, concepts, and themes that some people may find distressing such as suicide, death, loss, and self-harm. The intention of this work is to highlight such aspects of the human condition and raise awareness around these issues.
