I know there are a few peeps here into literary stuff. This just came out and is $6.50, perfect bound, full color cover, and 50+ pages. I'll have some with me in San Diego. Read some scary verse between armfuls of toys... (there's even a poem dedicated to Mizuki Shigeru)

=================================================

Shades of Darkness: the collected poetry of Chad Hensley includes What the Cacodaemon Whispered, finalist for the 2001 Bram Stoker Award, and the new collection Deep South Drifter with foreward by Jessica Amanda Salmonson. Art by H.E. Fassl.

"Sid Vicious meets William Faulkner" -- Jessica Amanda Salmonson

"Sick, macabre, and charged with lyrical intensity." -- Nasty Piece of Work

"Chad Hensley's verse whispers of the darkness that surrounds each of us in a voice that is as chilling as it is lyrical. A worthy volume to put alongside those of Brennan and Wandrei." --John Pelan, publisher of MIDNIGHT HOUSE

"Hensley is in the business of using verse to frighten, disturb, and morbidly enlighten his readers." -- Project Pulp
