Darkling’s Beasts and Brews is now available!

My last release post of 2018! Merry Christmas!

My poem Frankenspider and my haiku have been published in Darkling’s Beasts and Brews: Poetry with a Drink on the Side! You can buy it on Amazon and add it on Goodreads. For my European friends Bookdepository may be the cheaper option to acquire it.

Fun fact: L.S. Reinholt, with whom I’m co-writing several projects, also has two poems in this!

Welcome to the Machlelf Cemetery! Featuring your favorite graveyard host, Darkling introduces you to some of the beasts and creatures roaming around Lycan Valley and shares many of her favorite recipes and concoctions from Darkling’s Recipe Box. Includes more than 70 alcohol and non-alcohol drink recipes and corresponding poems in 7 categories: Coffee and Tea, Cocktails and Mixed Drinks, Smoothies, Milkshakes, Shots, Punch and special Bonus Clown Recipes section.

Something awesome happened last year when I first shared the good news of getting this poem and haiku accepted. I showed the haiku to my friend, artist Anneke Schat, and she surprised me with these beautiful Shodo artworks, titled “Fingernail”.

They catch the spirit of my haiku marvellously and I’m so honoured that a world-renowned artist like her finds inspiration in my work, just like I find inspiration in hers. Thank you again, Anneke!

Now let’s all raise a glass of some horror-poetry brew and enjoy the holidays! See you in 2019!
