Pryde is the author of the Wisp, a paranormal fantasy. The Wisp is available at the link below at amazon.com and through your local libraries and bookstores.

The Wisp 

Bara dreams of the dark-haired boy, but one blustery day, the dark-haired boy is replaced by a silvery spectre who haunts her even when she is awake, pulling her deeper into dreams and closer to secrets she is better off not knowing. Waking up is no relief. The fictional east-coast town of Windfall offers its own surprises: immortal witches, coffee-loving werewolves, and dream boys come to life. A dead man’s diary names Bara a Clavigen and calls upon her to cage the evil. She must defeat the witch who has ensnared the Wisp in a piece of enchanted amber. Unfortunately the dreams have not revealed all. Always watching, a demon waits to prey upon her young soul.

As always, ever inviting for more one read. Apart from the words which ever exceed, what else! - your voice positively works the poem. An academic, adult post left, right and centre for any time but 'specially Halloween, Pryde.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Emma.

this is what i think.....Poe would hear you recite this poem, and he would say "anabelle lee, move over, i want Pryde"

great read.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Jacob … I do hope to outlive her … lol.

The first poem I posted in here was inspired by the work of Poe...glad I've seen yours.. deeply charming.
I believe we all have Poe's way writing within us.

[Bare Trees]

I've heard many readings of this one. I find your voice much more soothing than Christopher Walkin's interpretation. haha

[Pryde Foltz]

Haha … he had fun. Thank you, Tim.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Soothing as I've always found him great delivery

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Thomas.

[Troy Henson]

Quite the engaging recital Pryde. I do like the emotion in the teling of the story. You have a nak for this.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Troy:)

[Laura Lynn]

It's a great day for this, rainy and bleak outside...

[Pryde Foltz]

It was so here yesterday … thank you, Laura.

[Chris]

I liked the way you got into it...just wished you had started that way from the beginning... you HAVE a dramatic flair when you let it loose...well worth the wait!

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Chris … the problem with starting where you end … you go nowhere. It is an aesthetic choice to allow a piece to build rather than have heightened emotion throughout and of course the narrator find himself driven crazy by the raven. He begins merely melancholic.

[Chris]

You're likely right, but I can't help wanting to be spoiled now can I?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

As always Pryde your readings are engaging and Poe is so apt for All Hallows Eve!

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, John:)
