VERSE IN THE VEIN OF LOVECRAFT

Joseph Payne Brennan, founder of Macabre magazine, blended fantasy and horror in this Arkham House poetry collection. Brennan's powerfully weird voice, although often unknown, set the timbre for modern macabre verse, placing him amongst the eeriness of H. P. Lovecraft and poetic mastery of Clark Ashton Smith.

Limited to 500 copies.
