Horror poems should invade the ordinariness of the day and allow the reader to sense the chill of the uncanny. They should form dream images that haunt during sleep. This broad collection of horror poetry ranges in subject matter from death to ghosts, from dark corners of the human psyche and human behavior to Lovecraftian monsters. They will haunt and they will cling to the mind like an ancient beast's tentacles. Be careful looking over your shoulder if you feel fingers touch it--you may find that the fingers are fleshless but the claws sharp.… (more)

Disturbing, thought provoking, and sometimes darkly humorous, HIDING FROM THE REAPER will keep you coming back for more like a sinfully satisfying box of dark chocolate, and once gone, will have you wishing for more.

Danny takes his three-wheeler down / the infinite hall where parallel lines / never end in a wall.

Book description
SCARY, SHORT, AND DEFINITELY NOT SWEET. This collection of horror poetry adds an air of creepiness to any time of day. From traditional ghosts to Lovecraftean gods to the inevitability of death, these poems have something for every horror fan.
Haiku summary
A sun-swathed day--you read / poetry under an oak-- / forked tongue licks your ear. (MichaelPotts)
