Brian Lumley

There have been several editions of this book. Now it comes to you with five additional poems that have been found in recent years. It is believed there is only one poem that remains lost. In the Acrostics section you will find: "Fantasy Crossroads", "Pesh-Tlen", "The Skull of HPL", and "Maggot". In Odds and Ends section you will find: "A Dreamer". The least of Lumley's books, this one is the rarest and the most sought after by collectors. The "least" not only because it's a very slim volume, but also because it's a book of "poetry", and the author doesn't claim to be a poet any more than he would claim to be a watchmaker. And if he did claim to be a poet ... well, he knows it would be disputed. First published by Spectre Press in 1982, if you were lucky enough to get one of the limited copies ... hold on to it. It's different and entertaining to read.
