Book Description

August 18, 2008
The Nightmare Collection is a brand new poetry collection from the Bram Stoker Award winning poet of Pitchblende, and Shades Fantastic. The prolific SFPA Grandmaster brings us sixty poems collected from places like Asimov's SF Magazine, Dark Wisdom, Strange Horizons, Talebones, Weird Tales, and includes new works as well. Advance Praise for The Nightmare Collection "The Nightmare Collection is a stunning showcase of vivid prose. Alluring and provocative, emotive and often amusing, this is storytelling of the highest order. Boston once again demonstrates why he is the undisputed master of dark poetry." -- Michael McBride, author of the God's End trilogy and Bloodletting. "Bruce Boston is a sorcerer -- he can conjure the most powerful and visceral emotions out of a few words. The Nightmare Collection is horror poetry at its very finest...and creepiest. It's a midnight waltz of surreal images. Highly recommended!" -- Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award author, fiction and nonfiction, for Ghost Road Blues an The Crytopedia

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dark Fantastic!, December 14, 2008

This review is from: The Nightmare Collection (Perfect Paperback)
Last Year's Stoker Award finalist returns with a dark poetry collection that catches the reader off guard with astonishing turns of concept and insight. These poems range from delightfully funny: "If the world/were werewolf people/it would be a hairier world/than you know" ("Werewolf People"), to slyly evocative: "Death/is such/a perfect diet..." ("Dark Gourmet"); to the darkest shades of utter bleakness: "In dingy sunset motels/scattered along the Pacific Coast/dead bodies surface/with horrid regularity ("California Noir"). Each page contains a dark dream throbbing with quintessential--and often very unpleasant-- truths of the human condition. I am particularly enthralled by Mr. Boston's speculations about what it would be like to live in world ruled by other creatures, real and fantastical. My favorite in this volume, "Crow People" assures us that "Even the sunsets,/masked with/grim cumuli,/would be dark/and bloody". What delicious chills shudder through these poems! Click on the cover graphic and slip into Bruce Boston's masterful domain of dark wonders. Cover art by Marge Simon, interior artwork by Russell Morgan. [...]
