"The Rattling Grave" is a more personal, more intricate look into the mind of MvDarklight. It wanders into the flickers of light, between life, love, death, and darkness. It does so in a sweet and beautiful way that few books have ever done. It never glorifies the dark but rather, creates a contrast between these themes to ultimately deliver a resonating, powerful message of hope, of love, dignity, inspiration, and resurrection. "The Rattling Grave expands on what my first book tried to accomplish in every way, from surreal short stories to tense, chilling narratives, to the full versions of my work not shared in their entirety on social media. It is the accumulation of many sleepless nights and deep introspection. Several stories are true, as bizarre as they might seem, others are even nods to the fans of my work who have touched my life. Some stories are intense, some of the poems are too, but they are for the faint of heart; That is the point. That even a faint pulse, even a flicker of light, even the tiniest bit of love left in a broken heart can bring you back to life." Michael V Darklight.
