The Bokk of Night

By Leilah Wendell

I am of that group of souls who sit forever apart. We are outcast, unfit; the lonely and the lost. We are the ugly, the strange, the introspective. We love darkness, for the darkness is a great equaliser. To lover Her one must be alone, with Her. She comes to all who cry out within whirling starlight, drunk with the gaseous vapour of nebulae. Inhaling the vigour of eternity, exhaling the laughter of mad intoxication. The benison of night is open to all.

Customer Reviews

With the enthralling hand of a poet ...

Leilah Wendall has woven a tome of wondrous beauty and magic, sharing with us the true nature of the Being known as Azrael, the Angel of Death. Taking us back through many lives lived, and shared through the eyes and words of this mighty Angel, we come to know Him not as a fearsome creature of mythical legend, but a compassionate Being willing to take us within the gentle and cold embrace of His wings. Their hauntingly penned words gracefully intertwine allowing one to see past their deepest fears surrounding the mystery of Death as we know it. This is truly a compelling book and unlike any I've ever before encountered. With a great love and wisdom shared, and lushly illustrated, 'Our Name is Melancholy...' is a wondrous read to soothe the searching soul.

Excellent and *still* original

This book is still as original as it was when I first read it, 10 years ago. With a truly open-mind, and a desire to know know more of Azrael, one will certainly enjoy this wonderful writing. Those who are not into the "Darker Side" of life will most likely not appreiate, nor even understand the writings. But those who love the cemeteries, the angels, and Death in a complex way, certainly will appreciate this writing. So, it is truly not for everyone, but certainly for those who know of and understand Azrael. I would highly recommend this book to those with open minds, and those with the desire to explore new "religions and philosophies". I am very happy to say that it is part of our vast book collection.

Truly an AMAZING book!

This book changed my life...for the better! I was severely suicidal due to a serious illness (I will NOT recover) I was afraid of my eventual death, but after reading this book, I am at peace and I have made peace with my own passing, my family, etc.Thank you, Ms. Wendell for this inspiring treasure!You don't have to be in my situation to appreciate this wonderful book. It's message could heal mankind if just given a read by all.

Simply the very best!

I have read this book several times now since its ORIGINAL version in 1988, and it continually rings true! This is truly the most inspirational, devotional and important book of the new age. Time to allay our fears of death and extend that Great Angel our welcoming embrace. I recommend this book for all seeking the truth about the Angel of Death, His mission on earth, and beyond the veil of flesh. I eagerly await the updated third edition!

A Masterpiece!

This is one of the very first books that I ever bought regarding Azrael when it was first published! The vast information that graces the pages is invaluable, and the purest knowledge behind the writing is unbeatable. Leilah Wendell has put together a fabulous package here, and it more than worth a few reads if one is interested in Death, Azrael, The Grim Reaper, or just how to commune with an Angel. If you seek information regarding the Azraelites, this book is for you.
