"From out of the dark"

From Out Of The Dark

From out of the dark is a collection of 6 songs finished during the infamous Covid lockdown of 2020, drawing musical influences from many different genres and based on different themes close to my heart.

Some with a narrative, others about how I felt a particular junction in life, playing music, writing and recording songs has been a great outlet for me and helped me deal with and express myself in a productive fashion.

With no single genre over the six songs I decided to put them out as From out of the dark, to show how something good can come from the darkness. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making them.

I appreciate so much all the friends and family who have helped critique these tracks ready for public consumption. Thanks also to my younger sister, Hannah, for providing her vocal talents and lyric writing on two of the songs.

#NeonNightmares by Tanweer Dar mini spoiler free book review

Neon Nightmares: A Collection Of Short StoriesNeon Nightmares: A Collection Of Short Stories by Tanweer Dar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An eclectic mix of short stories combining aspects of horror, sci-fi and cyberpunk fiction, each story a tale of when technology goes that little bit too far and doesn't perform quite the way you'd imagine.

You can really feel the variety of influences throughout all of Tanweer Dar's 13 stories, from the likes of Philip K Dick's sci-fi to the horror of possibly Stephen King? Some are gruesome and gory; others moving and sad but all different and unique and never dull.

My personal favourites were "Virtual" - the story of a man becoming dependent on his VR gaming environment; "Infestation" - the story of mutating rodents taking over the city; "Trance" where a sadistic DJ uses the hypnotic quality of music for a grotesque competition and "Biohazard" which sees a contaminant break loose in a lab and how a young scientist deals with the ensuing madness.

It's great to support local authors and 13 stories for £2 on Amazon Kindle is an absolute steal for this collection of well written stories. Sci-fi, Cyberpunk, horror and thriller fans will all find something to like here.
