The Auctoritas Doctrine is a work of art unto itself, each page published in full color with beautiful imagery accompanying each and every poem. The pictures have been chosen to stir up images of dark fantasies and alluring possibilities within the reader's mind. What sets this book apart from other collections of gothic poetry, aside from the highly detailed layout, is that this is a book specifically comprised of vampire poetry and that the explorations of language stay within the specified genre. The author describes it as "A journey seen through the eyes and souls of vampires and all things dark."

This book could be considered a poetic composition written for vampires by a vampire, or even an offering for those curious about what pervades the hearts and minds of vampires themselves. Aquilla Rage describes herself as a "vampire poet" and The Auctoritas Doctrine as being her "first offering of Vampire Poetry" with plans for a second book. Readers may be delighted to hear that she is currently accepting submissions for the sequel, and in the back of this book Aquilla provides a variety of starter lines for writers to use in their submissions. For more information on how to submit your work, well, you'll just have to get yourself a copy to find out :-)
