Description

K. A. Opperman conjures up a pageant of autumnal imagery sure to delight all fans of the Halloween season. Often recalling the charming rhymes on vintage postcards, these poems take us on a stirring journey deep into October's heart, offering treats-and a few tricks-to those brave enough to follow the jack-o'-lantern's orange grin into the night. Put on your costume, grab your pumpkin-shaped treat-bucket, and come discover what treasures are to be found past the glad and sunlit season, where both the dying year-and youth itself-confront what it means to face the darkness at summer's end. The poetry in this delightful volume is accompanied by 15 full-page illustrations by noted weird artist Dan Sauer, whose images celebrate the macabre nostalgia evoked by the the poems of Mr. Opperman and by All Hallows' Eve itself.

Author Biography:

K. A. OPPERMAN is a poet and artist hailing from southern California. In addition to his Halloween poetry, Opperman is the author of two volumes of Gothic poetry: The Crimson Tome (2015) and The Laughter of Ghouls (coming in early 2021), both published by Hippocampus Press. His work has appeared in Midnight Under the Big Top (Cemetery Dance Publications, 2020), Black Wings of Cthulhu 6 (Titan Books, 2018), Spectral Realms, Vastarien, Weirdbook, Weird Fiction Review, The Audient Void, Eye to the Telescope, and many other venues. DAN SAUER is a graphic designer and artist living in Oregon. In 2016, he co-founded (with editor/publisher Obadiah Baird) The Audient Void: A Journal of Weird Fiction and Dark Fantasy, which features his design and illustration work. Since 2017, he has worked extensively on book covers and interior art for Hippocampus Press and other publishers. His art often takes the form of surreal collage and photomontage, as pioneered by artists such as Max Ernst, J. K. Potter and Harry O. Morris. LISA MORTON is a screenwriter, author of non-fiction books, and award- winning prose writer whose work was described by the American Library Association's Readers' Advisory Guide to Horror as consistently dark, unsettling, and frightening. She is the author of four novels and 150 short stories, a six-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award(R), and a world-class Halloween expert. She co-edited (with Leslie S. Klinger) the anthology Weird Women: Classic Supernatural Fiction by Groundbreaking Female Writers 1852-1923; forthcoming in 2020 is Calling the Spirits: A History of Seances. Lisa lives in Los Angeles.
