Seeped in melancholy and darkness, the collection nonetheless shines with a beautiful and strange glow, surprisingly warmer than one could expect. A perfect object of its own, mysterious and attaching. Very highly recommended."Seb Doubinsky, author of The Invisible"Tight, small lyrical pieces that trudge between the darkness and the light. This collection is a rhythmic locomotive traveling through vivid melancholy and stationing in bits of somber retrospection and introspection. Jayaprakash Satyamurthy finds a way to locate the right dose of respite/relief exactly where and when it''s needed. Travel and time consume this book but not in an untimely manner nor in any way that feels out of place. Broken Cup is spaced and paced perfectly in accordance with an adherence to its many moods. This book is a spell cast in many stanzas of sympathetic magic."
Kenning JP Garcia, author of OF (What Place Meant)"If you are looking for a poetry collection to raising your suffering spirits, Satyamurthy''s Broken Cup, with words from poems that are "delicious, sustaining, transforming" as we witness when reading verses like "Naming the Word." Jayaprakash''s verses are so reinvigorating using Billie Holliday with "Mingus" to resonate music on every page in verses like "Before." Poems like "Alive" will make you feel like you are inhaling the senses of Jayaprakash''s "a memory seeded of lilac, maybe/ cinnamon" these mouthwatering poems soothe our senses as Broken Cup becomes a mirror of a life we no longer recognize, Jayaprakash and his memorable mystical lines becomes "[...] an illumination/ to eyes lit from within." In the end, my favorite poem has to be "Jayaprakash" which takes the name of the poet himself, because this one, evokes everything I adore about this poetry collection which beaming through the darkness of our modern times emanating reenergizing poems that are "Luminious glory." We need more poets like Jayaprakash Satyamurthy, he is the antidote to this world of shadows, his words are the poems that glow hope radiating from every page."

What lurks in the damp recesses of urban existence? These new tales of weird fiction are a blend of urban horror, pulp noir and dark fantasy. Lovecraftian horrors and Cthulhu Mythos monsters have never been this gritty. From haunted Kingsport across the globe to shadowy Berlin and the otherworldly music of Bangalore. From kind, sexy neighbors to cyberpunk paranoia an The King in Yellow. A journalist's search with unexpected results. What really happened to Walter Gilman, and what is the origin of the witch Keziah Mason? And witness humanity fail against the forces from beyond. From weird sounds to screams of madness. Entropy. Chaos. Disorder. Death. Beneath cities, on the outskirts of ruined, aeon-old cities and INSIDE cities. The stench, the decay, the hopelesness... it is everywhere. Welcome to URBAN CTHULHU: NIGHTMARE CITIES.
