In the Other Door, Dennis L. Siluk's first published work, one finds a collection of poetry that is both stirring and mystical. Here there is a sense of the expanse of time, the presence of a primeval and archaic element, as well as visions of the near past and the present. Some of the poems are disturbing, sometimes dizzying, as they involve the reader in a vortex of thoughts and images. This is Mr. Siluk's first book, 750-copies were printed, to the first and only edition, 1981. Very rare, with a pink DJ.

The Tale of Freddy the Foolish Frog 1982

Dr. Dennis L. Siluk has written poetry since the age of twelve. This is a poetic story of a frog called, by his swamp friends, “Freddy the Foolish Frog,” because he enjoyed fooling around, and bothering others all day, who did not care about the advice to change his ways he was given by all the swamp folk. But, something happened one day that make him change his ways for a better one, gaining friends. All illustrations are done by the Author.

The Tale of the Little Roses Smile 1983

Dr. Dennis L. Siluk has written poetry since the age of twelve. This beautiful story is of a Little Rose, who always had a smile on her face, a Little Rose who blossomed on the shores of the South China Sea (which is a place where the author visited during his tour of duty in the Army), and how the Little Rose kept her composure and demonstrated her faith. All illustrations are done by the Author.

We are going into a world very few people have entered, and if they have, their stories have not been told and, imparticular, not this one. These beings are called the Watcher, Angelic Renegades, the Forbidden Ones, the Shining Ones, Serpents of old; the ancient dictator of the world. They have cursed God to have man workship them. Some were cast to the abyss thousands of years ago, others into silence... The author takes you into this vortex of images and sounds.

Long before the conquests of Attila, king of the Huns, Hannibal, Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Alexander the Great, and Gilgamesh (half god and half man) king of the Uruk, there lived an antagonist and savage eyed race called the demonic gods (with angelic, beast and human traits) who ruled the underworld and tried to rule the upper world.

This story is about that race and their attempts to do just that.

The year is 6807 BC, the Age of Pride.

This is not a book on archeology, anthropology, or demonology; it is a short novel on an encounter you are about to have with demons. Their dead bones are out there, with bodies rotting. Melted into the ice glaciers, peat bog, and strata-rock, in the Underworld (within the earth's crust). They are a lost civilization. Put away Java man, Heidelberg man, for many of the bones lead to the demons anyways. Scientists have described their findings as creatures much like the demons we have in our myths; such as the eyebrows protruding, the jawbones and flat noses, and hairless ears, and some pointed. You are about to step into the Age of Pride. The secret is to. . .

Siluk's Tiamat Trilogy, and his book, "Mantic ore..." have been compared to Star Trek, Stephen King, Michael Connelly and John Grisham's books. They are compelling, affecting, and portraying life at the edge. In this third volume of his Tiamat series, the hero becomes vulnerable, obsessed and somewhat investigative, partly because of his youth, and anxiousness. As with his previous two volumes, he faces the demon world, within his city state of Yort, and outside it. Good fiction will takes you on a journey; what humans could face, is what they will look at. A step into a shift in time; from one era to another; in the middle is the soul that wants to say, it is all worthwhile...

The second part of this book, you will find a conglomeration of hypnotic adventures; a spiritual journey throughout the land of Lemuria [ancient Pacific], counter balance to Atlantics.

Many of us are saying: Why us, why terrorism on America? The reason the Islamic-Arabs think the way they do is because they have a different God than Christians and Jews. In this book the differences in God is what matters. Above all, the Christians and Muslims have both expressed love for their God. The sad part I believe is (when you examine this area) most people think the Muslim god is the same as the Christian God, because we seem to have the same prophets, champions. But this is far from the truth. As you read this book, you will notice me picking out what I feel are- Islamic distortions, deletions, and generalizations, to persuade mankind to migrate to their god...

This is a sensitive book, rich in understanding and common sense. It will put the reader in touch with what it is like to be an addictive person, and what must be done to bring the person back from being an outcast. As the author explains in a respectful way, how the afflicted feels, he includes, biological, psychosocial, and family damage caused by the chemicals being used. His effect is to create ways to deal with addiction, along with new possibilities. This book can be helpful to all who are involved in the world of addiction; it is straight forward.

In this collection of seven stories, there are winners and takers, and they all deal with: DOD, Death on Demand. All are suspenseful in one way or another. The first being "The Rape of Angelina..," here you see revenge, as death waits. In the second story, "The Seven Born Son," you witness hate at its worse, it demand death to its taker. In the third story "The Dead Vault," you witness righteousness, and power playing a most interesting game, again death demands its right. In the fourth story "The Senator from Lima," you walk into a nest of gangsters, all the takers, who make the winners, but there is a price, and again death is on the menu. In the following next three stories, "...Tides of Winter," and "The Old Man of Chickamauga," along with, "The Camel Market," death lingers close by, if not directly, indirectly.

Within a forty-two month period, the author concludes his trilogy, starting with "Romancing San Francisco," to "A Romance in Augsburg," to this last book, "Where the Birds Don't Sing," which includes sketches of the Vietnam War... All three novels are transformed into historical fiction, where in each sentence resides the truth and in each paragraph wonders freely the genius of the author's ability to express what is on his mind.

One migh conclude this is a suitable ending to a decade of challenges and changes that plagued the world over. Perhaps many, who read this, will see Vietnam in a different view from the infamous infantry perspective. One that allows the other side of a soldier's life to emerge, the everyday life of a support unit...

With a stroke of madness, this psychological thriller, novel, is a story that takes place between Paris, London and Amsterdam--the time period being 1925. The author states: "After you read The Mumbler, you will never get him out of your mind, nor will anybody take his place." He adds, "You will hate him, fell sorry for him, and at the same time, want to avoid him." The person referred to as The Mumbler, is quite a complex figure in this haunting drama, who unwittingly fights the demons in his nightmare, and his second-self. But who will he follow, is the question, the first or second self?...

This book has been in the making for 24-years, since his last book of poetry, which was originally his first published work in 1980. The author was asked to define his poems in this book, he remarked:

"This book of poems is about real life, death, the times, I suppose my times, God; -places and travel. It tells it: whispers it: yell it! It has craft, and paradox, anxiety, expediency and calmness-; it is a fortress of strenght, and a ruins. Is it a mountain; a crow walking up for a second flight, possible its last. It is a story of stories, emotions, and thoughts [in timeless space, just drifting, drifting, and waiting for something], put together by evidence, observations thay say: -"I am, I was, I will be," -written over six-decades, around the world, it says just that...no more, no less."

Mr. Siluk's book, Cold Kindness, could be considered the sequel to his previous book Perhaps it's Love, but going in the opposite direction. It is what makes it unique in its own way though. Most of us look for love and when it starts to vanish, try to hold onto it as long as possible; thus, likewise, Carmen tries, and so does her lover, Adam; but do they achieve this? ...

The novella, “Cornfield Laughter,” is an interesting parody, and tale of the lives of a number of characters, in particular, two: Shannon O’Day, a retired labour worker in the Midwest (a man direct, with little social trappings), who seems to have led an arduous life of drinking, brawling, to a point, womanizing. And Poggi Ingway, past-middle age, a foundry worker; it is 1966. Both are searching for contentment in life. Shannon thought he had it, until his wife left. Poggi seems to have left it in San Francisco, in an afternoon affair. For that matter, all the characters in the story are seeking in one way or another, that same ingredient, contentment. Yet Poggi anticipates suicide...

Most folks, to include poets, prefer poetry on death to entail mostly courage and strength; I don't disagree completely with that, only partly, for submissive suffering is also involved; yet, many folks just do not want to look at both sides of the dying. Nowadays things are changing, and it is more permissible, yet still bold to mix them together, and thus, here we have just that. I prefer true emotions: be it aggressive or passive when going through death voyages; for such are during a paramount loss, of a loved one dying, day by day, especially, one's mother, as in 'Days'..."

That is how I felt as a Midwesterner in San Francisco, like a toy in the window,-in this new era of freedom, sweeping the country, and it did, that is, it all started right there, right in San Francisco, the year, 1968-69; -most names are fictional, some are not...

In Shadows in the Wild, the mysterious shadow of a stranger conjurors up an untapped emotion. In Sjorfaa! Sjorfaa!, you become enmeshed in an Arctic adventure. In Death in the Dust, you end up at a bullfight, with a character unforgettable. In The Plane from Iquitos, you are taken into an adventure in the Amazon. In The Diamond Caddo Estate, dreams do come true, at a price. In The Feathered Serpent, a quest is sought, and in The Quiet of Quiahuiztlan, the quite is short lived.

From two short stories and fragments of others comprising basically an outline by the author, grows a masterpiece after 14-months, a most lucid novel, perhaps the best account of a cross-cultural form of intolerance, in historical-fiction in a long time. Based on actual events, Stay Down, Old Abram, the author paints two streets, one white, one black in this tragic game where moods and friction bring out the roots of deeply idealistic rejection and suppressed tendencies, all embedded in the narrative.

An astonishing book, rich in incident and characterization; pity is pushed aside for wisdom; and one will discover the separate parts suddenly flow together to a taunting climax. The author uses knowledge and sympathy along with great perception and objetivity in this gripping story. The story is set in Minnesota and Seatle, and concerns the relationships between four youthful women and men. Mr Siluk treats the whole subject with remarkable understanding. It provides a moving narrative; shows the difficulties of those young people caught into the vortex of youth, the humdum of life. Siluk could not be more honest.

With the poetic skill of Cesar Vallejo, and handiness of Ricardo Palma, Siluk produces a Peruvian background in a most favorable way. His vantage point, like the poet Par Lagerkvist, is rich with humanism. Thus, the Poet Laureate Dennis Siluk (awarded the title of the most favored writer for the Eldritch Dark Magazine, 2004...) his vantage point centers on the exploration and social identity of Peruvianism, for the most part; along wiht a twelve part poem on Vietnam.

In Dennis' poetry on Minnesota, he has tried to deliver the engraved impressions he received, that have shaped themselves within the windows and cracks of his mind. Realizing life is not a halo, but rather a task--of the unknown, unseen. Here he tries to bring the unchaining spirit: whatever peculiarities or simplicities they maybe, into the possible. In the beauty of Last Autumn and Winter, of Minnesota, Dennis brings out an echo, a voice and does it politely, as he marches on from autumn to winter.

Dennis creates here, a collection of remarkable and timeless poetry, original in all its refreshing forces (with notes, and commentary on ‘Stone Forest’ high up in the Andes in Cerro de Pasco; one of the mysteries of the world and a wonder of Peru); he adds in this collection, legends, about Stone Forest: packed with photos and art work; and an introductory poem called, “The Crow,” about his illness. Now he sets the poems loose on the world, to discover ‘Stone Forest.’ During Poet Siluk’s stay in Cerro de Pasco, Peru (highest city in the world), he received by Mayor Tito Valle, a Gold Medal as an ‘Illustrious Visitor’, thus, deciding to create a book similar to his previous one for the Mantaro Valley, “The Road to Unishcoto,” centered on Stone Forest, after finding a haunting inspiration to do so.

This is my third book on non-fiction short stories in my most recent writings and publications at present, a trilogy, which could change to a tetralogy, if there should be a fourth, forthcoming. Presently, the first being: “In My Time” the second: “Men among Men,” and now the third, which really defines all three: “Times and Seasons.” For the author, these stories deal with times and seasons of his life; gaining insight, knowledge, through travel, study, listening to God’s whispers, and rough luck, bad choices and good choices, faith and perseverance, and patience, awaiting on the season and the time, but never ever giving up. This is Dr. Siluk’s 57th International Book “Times and Seasons,” in English and Spanish.

Here is the fourth book of Dr. Siluk’s autobiography short stories, whether in the traditional form of the short story, poetic prose, biography, each story is a piece of history and complete within itself. Perhaps more so in this book than his previous three, he tells the stories of many of his travels, with humor, realism, some may think even fantasy, but most of all with love for the different people he has met on his journeys.

The Story is about the slave, Old Josh Jefferson, whom is the author’s protagonist, and his two sons. The story is roughly Josh’s coarse adventures in Ozark, Alabama: his plantation life, his friend Amos, its pungent, yet primitive living conditions; its lust bearing greed of the trying era. It is about two races trying to do their best under the circumstances of a nation under Civil War actions. Ashley, and her mother, are servants within the Hightower plantation, their life as well as Old Josh’s and the Ghost, who gives the reader an unsuspecting ending, as well as a heartwarming Civil War tragedy.

“To Want, and Want Not!” is the author’s sixth distinct work. Dr. Siluk writes with convictions, courage, he moves quickly from one short story to another as literary history moves quickly. In nonfiction this movement of independence has taken the form of the fundamental lives of many people who make up his stories: from his High School Days, to the Cayuga Street Gang, to Germany and the Vietnam War, and the Milwaukee riots of 1967, and a time when he was a shoeshine boy, in Minnesota 1959…

There were really about sixteen people who formed the group, who followed Christ, during his ministry on earth, to include a group of three particular women if not four (if we were to include his mother). Paul, although a great theologian, and soldier of Christ, if not the greatest of Christ’s followers, cannot boast of being an Apostle, with all respect intended. But Mary, called Magdalene would firmly be the 13^th Apostle, if indeed the male gender of the day would allow it (and we exclude Mary the mother of Christ). And Susanna of Bethsaida, would be the 14^th. Here is her story told if ever told, and told in brief surely, for there is not much information on her, but here for once is her story put together by bits and pieces; she tells it herself, through this narrator, she’s the 14^th Apostle.
