Review Quotes: "Our obsessions haunt us, and writing helps us to contend with what Silverman calls our 'shadowy ghosts, ' the darker aspects of ourselves. . . . These lessons and examples [in Acetylene Torch Songs] show how we can take what keeps us up at night and shape it into something that not only longer controls us, but can potentially help others to heal."--Lilith Magazine
