Book Description
As a natural born poet since the age of seven, Jody LaGreca has a deep affinity for poetic form and dark fiction. GOTHIC TALES contains an assortment of Narrative Poems that flow like the storybook from hell. The poems are literary, sophisticated, forthright and gruesomely picturesque at times. The book is divided into five parts; the first section contains vampire poems that are gory yet evocative, with darkly romantic blood drinking, and tongue and cheek scenarios. Part Two is comprised of Halloween horror with the wiles of witches and the haunting of ghosts, who steal our dreams and waking hours. Part Three is hauntingly gruesome, involving thought provoking scenarios straight from the underworld. Part Four contains sagas involving death and threat. Part Five showcases an ensemble of graveside scenarios and the eeriness of reality. GOTHIC TALES is for lovers of the macabre and unexpected with an ironic twist to incite and inspire.Acclaim for GOTHIC TALES: "As I read GOTHIC TALES by Jody R. LaGreca, I imagined the author, draped in a black silk cape, writing these poems with a raven's quill under a full moon. The tone is lush, darkly romantic, and filled with macabre exuberance. Be sure to pick up a bottle of red wine to sip while you're reading this deliciously Gothic collection!"-- Mark McLaughlin, Bram Stoker Award winner for Best Poetry Collection"Jody R. LaGreca's Gothic Tales is a great collection of ballads: an equal mixture of the macabre and the beautiful. If you have ever felt the itch to read poetry out loud by candle light, while the wind howls outside your window, Gothic Tales is the collection for you."--Michael Walker, Author of "The Vampire Henry""Close your eyes and let Jody LaGreca lead you through the dark maze of Gothic Tales: Dark Poetry. It doesn't matter what strange and scary creatures you'll encounter on this darkly surreal sojourn: headless henchmen, hiding ghosts, flying witches, thirsty vampires, ghouls with golden teeth, screams or silence, skeletons or in the flesh, because along the way, Jody LaGreca whispers elegant words in your ear, encouraging you to journey into the dark places that chill your bones. Highly recommended!" --Michael McCarty, 5-Time Bram Stoker Finalist and author of Modern Mythmakers, A Little Help From My Fiends and co-author of Dracula Transformed and Lost Girl of The Lake

Book Description
Combining lush Gothic lyricism with postmodern experimentation, Oliver Sheppard's second collection of verse, Thirteen Nocturnes, presents a nightmare vision of a world in the grip of apocalypse and shadow-a world where "a nighttime of years never-ending" becomes "a darkness severe and unbending," and where life is relentlessly "gathered up against the towering shadow of decay." Taking cues from the dark Romanticism of Poe, the decadent Symbolism of Baudelaire, and the apocalyptic tradition of William Blake-as well as the existential doominess of 20th century cosmic horror-Oliver Sheppard's Thirteen Nocturnes presents a verse vision of collapse, announcing a cold poetics of disintegration in the new dark age of the Anthropocene. "Reading Sheppard's poetry is a little like listening to a conversation between Nietzsche and William Blake during a showing of Peckinpah's Cross of Iron. Using a wide range of forms and cultural references, Sheppard illustrates the human condition in ways that take as much account of its absence as its presence... Given the chance, Sheppard will lead you down dark and unfamiliar paths, to moments of weird beauty." -from the foreword by John Foster

Book Description
FROM THE AUTHOR OF 'GOTHIC TWILIGHT': HE WHO CONTINUES TO TIPTOE THRU THE TWILIGHT, RECORDING THE MIX OF BODILESS VOICES HE ENCOUNTERS ECHOING WITHIN THE PSYCHIC ACOUSTICS OF THE INNER MIND'S EAR ... A more than usual personal impression is left keenly resounding, after one has explored, considered, and unraveled the exquisitely delivered, profoundly deep and arcanely crepuscular, evocative messages contained within J J Ginty's poetic journal. The pulsating theatricalities and transmittable intensity felt between the lines of this impassioned, honest, and most consuming read is especially potent and curiously palpable - from the very first line to the very last. This distinctive and uncanny little composition is sure to articulate and resonate somewhat further and deeper beyond that which might normally be expected from a short book of dark/gothic poetry; in the sense that, the 37 poems herein are not archetypically consistent with that of the dark and the gothic in a classical, traditional or conventional, or even contemporary, sense. That is to say, if one is expecting or hoping for pages brimming with nothing but haunted castles, spooky graveyards, vampire bats hanging upside down in the belfry, living folk being buried alive and dead folk rising up out of their graves, and other such jeepers-creepers; or, if one is looking for overt tales and experiences that share accounts of abuse, self-harm, suicide, depression, various psychopathologies, criminal insanity etc., etc., this may not be the collection for you; though, it must be said, there are a wide variety of these preternatural themes and psychosomatic subjects (along with many others, and much more besides) woven into, between, and beyond the vivid lines and emotional content herein, which are, at the very heart of it all, obliquely dark/gothic in their depictions, considerations, feelings, inscapes and outlooks. It would not be precise to describe these poems as light, dark or gothic (per se) - they would be more accurately described as (shall we say) ... twilight (i.e. somewhere in-between the light & dark). For isn't twilight that wonderous great vehicle which transports us from the light of day into the darkness of night? J J Ginty does so colorfully express that which he conceives - born out of that which he perceives - thus communicating and connecting with those of us who decidedly share in similar proclivities: those of us (albeit so very few of us) who perhaps appreciate the widely interweaving, multifarious and provocative twilit themes to be found within one's own life, ... death, ... afterlife ... This book was conceived, born and nurtured out of ordinary day-to-day life and its mortal, earthly, mundane happenings ('reality', if you will), leading the author to produce this collection; effectively displaying his very own idiosyncratic take on Strange & Peculiar Reality. Contains strong language. Dedicated to the 'Isolationist': Those who generally feel somewhat adrift Those who perhaps feel they are something 'other' Those who don't always believe in what is seen, heard, taught or disclosed Those who are of a deep & introspective nature Those who occasionally like to stick two fingers up at the external world Those who are inwardly travelling Time. In Appreciation. Always. J J Ginty
