Product Description
by S. T. Joshi (Editor), Richard L. Tierney (Author), Donald Sidney-Fryer (Author)
This thirteenth issue of Spectral Realms once again features many of the leading poets of our era--Richard L. Tierney, Ann K. Schwader, Adam Bolivar, Frank Coffman, Wade German, Leigh Blackmore, and K. A. Opperman. Several writers better known for their fiction--Darrell Schweitzer, Nicole Cushing, David Barker, Curtis M. Lawson, and Don Webb--contribute poetry of metrical precision and terrifying potency.
Scott J. Couturier evokes the shade of William Hope Hodgson in "Amongst the Sargasso," while Adele Gardner writes an acrostic dedicated to Poe in "Nevermore." Among our prose poets, Maxwell I. Gold again stands out in his signature issue--the mingling of weirdness and technology. Manuel P rez-Campos's "After Verdun" evokes the horrors of war.
Spectral Realms is now attracting an international cast of contributors. From Singapore, Christina Sng has long graced our pages, and here she is joined by Ngo Binh Anh Khoa from Vietnam, Andrey Pissantchev from Russia, and Tatiana Strange from Germany.
The classic reprints feature poems by two colleagues of H. P. Lovecaft, R. H. Barlow and Arthur Goodenough. Donald Sidney-Fryer supplies an extensive review of David E. Schultz's landmark edition of the work of Leah Bodine Drake.
