A Verse to Horrors: An Abecedary of Monsters and the Monstrous

Blurb

Poetry can be staid and serious. But sometimes it can simply be fun...the goal of this Horror Writers Association 2012 Bram Stoker Award Finalist for excellence in poetry.

Everybody loves monsters, right? And everybody loves limericks. So...why not LIMERICKS ABOUT MONSTERS? This Abecedary (fancy word for A-B-C Book) contains over 150 limerick-like verses dealing with monsters and horrors from fiction, film, and television--from the famous ones like Frankenstein and Dracula to obscurities like The Neanderthal Man and the Monolith Monsters. If you are a fan of B-Movies (there's even a verse about Drive-Ins), or comics, or more serious treatments of creatures in novels and short stories, there's something here for you. The book even includes a list of References and Influences, a bibliography of films and books that have triggered imaginations for decades. Be prepared to read, to shiver (a little, here and there), and enjoy. Show More Show Less
