CTHULHU NOIR has its first review!
“An extremely well written book with blunt, descriptive tones and subtle foreshadowing that make you question the motives of the main character’s erstwhile ally. A real throwback to hard-scrabbled detective stories with just enough macabre”—Joshua W.

The ghoulish inbred #thrummed the bloody strings of his bone banjo, and shrieks of the freshly slaughtered captives pierced the air. I grimaced as that evil moron smiled. Oh, he was dead meat…as soon as I figured out how to escape this pit of rabid mutant bears.

Nightmare Scenario
Between worlds crafted
and yesterday's dreams
I want to scream—
because escaping reality is impossible
where power has been wrested from joy
by tyrants with unaccountable guns
& selfish sensibilities
stealing innocence
on Minneapolis streets.

its rhythmic pulse
rippling the sea

rolling
low lying clouds

a sensual backdrop
and you
wind-kissed
shadows flowering

intoxicated
swaying in the sweet night
in the thrall
of this endless

As Mervin the ghoul dragged the dismembered corpse to be disposed of, he #slipped in a pool of blood, toppled end-over-end, landed in the wood-chipper. As his enlarged cranium was being shredded and sprayed across a snowy clearing, the idiot screeched, “no regrets-argh!”

Philipa kept her promise. She lowered Danielle’s unconscious body onto the deck of the catamaran, stepped onto the dock, and #unmoored the craft. She arced two shots from the flare gun, setting the boat ablaze. Screams. Philipa’s tears flowed. It was a good Viking funeral.

I was walking around Vancouver, aware of that need, and I remember walking past a video arcade, which was a new sort of business at that time, and seeing kids playing those old-fashioned cons...

You told me
If I learned to #bend
I'd never break
Your entire
Parenting scheme
But sometimes
We're not meant
To lean away
Or look aside
I've seen death
From a car bomb
Babies unfed
Children left
At truck stops
And I break
Every time
Because that's
The only way
To let the tears out
