Bram Stoker Award winner Marge Simon and Nebula Award winner Mary A. Turzillo team up to create a stunning collection of phantastic verse, dark and light.
In musical terminology, a call and response is a succession of two distinct phrases usually played by different musicians, where the second phrase is heard as a direct commentary on or response to the first. Simon and Turzillo accomplish the same effect with their dual poems, such as “The Gods” and “The Gods Fallen”, “Lady M” and “Not About Shakespeare.”
Take a side road into Alice in Wonderland and discover a fiendish White Rabbit in love with the King of Hearts. Ponder what happens to a Lady from Lemuria, and a Plebe of Atlantis. You’ll find science fictional poems such as “The Castaway Bar” and “Foreigner,” dark poems like “This Undead Hand” and “Black Roses,” and some that are unclassifiable. Yet each and every one is a variant of sweet poison.
