Blood Verse by Derek Clendening, illustrated by Marcia A. Borell {Sam's Dot Publishing}

Coming to regard the vampire as a creative being, he envisioned new possibilities for the literary vampire.
Within these pages are poetic works that will take you beyond the stereotypes of the media—the movies, the novels, the nosferatu. Come turn these pages and see how the undead do it.

". . . this little book is a concise answer to some fundamental questions, like who are we and who is with us and who isn't, and how do we tell the difference.

Of course 'I feel so schizophrenic...' is also a quest within a quest, a thriller, and a lyrical tour of a complex and intriguing future in which questions about humanity take on new dimensions."

In Deepspace Shadows: A Dramatic Poem in Two Acts by Kendall Evans {Mythic Delirium Books}
New from Mythic Delirium Books, a ground-breaking innovation in science fiction from Rhysling Award-winning poet Kendall Evans, the revised and fully-illustrated edition of his two-act science fiction play in verse, In DeepSpace Shadows.

With a color cover, 36 pages, fully illustrated by Mythic Delirium regulars Don Eaves, Terrence Mollendor and Tim Mullins.
From the back cover: "Why journey to a place of nothingness? For the language that takes you there. Kendall Evans' In Deepspace Shadows: A Dramatic Poem in Two Acts is the future scripted by Cyril Tourneur after Isaac Asimov, an eerie and elegant creation within which conspiracies, mutinies, and madness unfold in electromagnetic pulses and static recharge—stage directions, set design, iambic pentameter and all. Gather four friends; read this mechanical fantasia aloud. Like the light of dead stars, its images will haunt your sky long after their words have been put away." — Sonya Taaffe

On the Other Side of the Eye by Bryan Thao Worra {Sam's Dot Publishing}
This is a collection of speculative poetry. Here's a glimpse of it, taken from the review by Edward Cox: ". . . the jewel of part II is 'Five Fragments,' which also forms the collection’s longest poem. Set at a war exhibition, this piece suggests that our reason for solving problems is so we can create room to make the same mistakes again. History is selective in the minds of humans, and like fads, we chose to scrutinise single instances when history is an ocean filled with identical droplets. Teaching and schooling amount to nothing when the execution of war becomes as fast and fleeting as the next computer upgrade. The world has become almost question-less, lost within its own apathy, and Worra makes us wonder where we go from here."

Ossuary, a poetry collection by JoSelle Vanderhooft, based on art by Erzebet YellowBoy {Sam's Dot Publishing}
Ossuary is a poetic tribute to the bone panels, bone scrolls and other art of artist, writer and publisher Erzebet YellowBoy. The twenty-four poems in the collection center upon the themes of decay and transformation in much the same way YellowBoy's work does. Some draw upon world myth and fairy tale, from the dismembering of Osiris in "Osiris, Seed-Scattered" to the schemes of the Greek Fates in "The Moriae's Tools" to numerous permutations of "Sleeping Beauty," YellowBoy's favorite fairy tale which follow the heroine's descent through dreams and her numerous transformations in body, mind and soul.
Additionally Ossuary seeks to explore the natural world from which the artist draws inspiration – the season's cycles, nature's mystery and, of course, the inevitability of death and the transforming process of decay. In Ossuary, the reader will find such things as the wizened beauty of an old woman tending her garden, descents through the grave's loamy underworld, and the phoenix-like bursting of a bush into flame.

Poetry Red-Shifted In The Eyes Of A Dragon by Kendall Evans {Spec House of Poetry}
Illustrations by Cathy Buburuz
Introduction by Deborah P. Kolodji
The debut chapbook from Kendall Evans, winner of the 2006 Rhysling Award
for Long Form Poetry (with David C. Kopaska-Merkel). Four new poems,
along with poems previously published in the genre's top publications.
First Regular Edition Pressing, 100 Copies.
Reviews:
"Kendall Evans is one of speculative poetry's most audacious experimenters."
--Mike Allen, Editor of Mythic Delerium
Evans speaks the language of the fantastic, from astral imagery to myth,
and beyond. From the subtle “Binary” (‘entangle your spirits flesh with
mine/ in spider-veined nebulae/ of deepest space and time’), to the
resounding “Beatrice, Cockatrice”, (‘Beatrice, your cold eyes stone
me’), Evans makes his poems sing. Long or short, he crafts each poem
skillfully, often with a touch of magic. Superbly recommended.
--Marge Simon, Author of Like Birds in the Rain

The Poet's Workshop - and Beyond by Terrie Leigh Relf, M.A. {Sam's Dot Publishing}
Terrie Leigh Relf, M.A., distills years of teaching and writing experience into a coherent yet entertainingly off-beat presentation of how to compose speculative poetry, what to do with it once you have composed it, and how to keep it from decomposing. Each section, from "Ordering Chaos" [with a side of Catastrophe, please, and hold the olives] to "The Kung Fu of Writing," from "Plotting with Playdough" to Unzipping a Rengay, is high on specifics and often includes anecdotal encouragement and examples that drive home the precise point she is making. This handbook contains everything you ever wanted to know about composing poetry, but were afraid to ask.

what you're having," about a werewolf in a dysfunctional relationship. If
you are contemplating a relationship with a supernatural being, this book
can help.

Scifaistew by Teri Santitoro {Sam's Dot Publishing}
Scifaistew is a collection of scifaiku and tanka and haibun by Teri Santitoro, editor of Scifaikuest. Here's what Tyree Campbell had to say about it: " . . . I've read it, several times. It's that kind of collection. I'm . . . astonished at how good it is. A haibun titled "The Tin Man's Ax" is worth the price of admission alone. If you buy only one collection of scifaiku a year, this is the one for 2007. Seriously."

Tarantula Stampede by Tom Galusha {Sam's Dot Publishing}
The tarantulas of Tom Galusha cover one of the widest ranges of topics of any contemporary speculative poet. He has been influenced by Poe and by Yeats, and by his own vision, which often focuses in on its theme from way beyond left field. His tarantulas treat of an artist who is trapped by a painting, of nightmares that are realer than real, of the little-known uses of a werewolf, and of the horrors we might inflict upon an alien intelligence to make it like us. Galusha's work, lavishly illustrated by Terry Galusha and 7ARS, ranges in size from the epic to scifaiku, with each word, each letter, carefully crafted to elicit responses from us that we do not even know we possess.
In Pamplona they run with the bulls. Come run awhile with Galusha's tarantulas . . .
