Product Description
THE GOSSAMER EYE Winner of the 2003 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in the Poetry Collection category! THE GOSSAMER EYE is a book of poetry, and some fiction, too, by a new breed of wordsmiths. Mark McLaughlin, Rain Graves and David Niall Wilson-the three authors represented in this collection-write in numerous speculative genres, with an emphasis on horror and dark fantasy. They give readings of their work at conventions and other literary venues, and are active in various national writers' groups. Their fiction often appears in major anthologies, but they haven't forgotten that poetry is an important part of their creative lives. Their writings breathe new life into the world of dark verse. They prove that the poetry of the macabre can be much more than just the silken, sad rustling of purple curtains. They explore many new avenues of expression-with wit, humor, anger, and always, passion. The stories in The Gossamer Eye range from very dark and macabre to humorous and quirky to absolutely bizarre. You'll meet a cross dresser who impersonates Marilyn and his friend Ziggy, a Bowie impersonator; witness "The Fall of the House of Escher"; and be introduced to 13 of Frankenstein's monster's various parts-individually. This is a reading experience unlike any other! So try looking at the night sky through THE GOSSAMER EYE, and you'll see visions and wonders that you never knew existed.
