Come Fly with Death is a chapbook of 20 ekphrastic poems inspired by the artwork of the late Polish painter, Zdzislaw Beksinski. Up until the time of his murder in 2005, Beksinski created a fantastic collection of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and photographs, specializing in the field of utopian art. Like Beksinski’s works, the poems contained here are surrealistic and graphic. They are at times horrific, Gothic, even erotic, and apocalyptic. Above all, they attempt to serve as a rare glimpse into the heart of our most beautiful nightmares.

Let us savor the final three seconds before Doomsday. Let us step through the shattered glass door leading beyond The End, and walk through the veil of an apocalyptic dreamscape. Let us witness the horrors that await these "lucky" ones called survivors. What will become of our Children of Fallout? Will they survive Death's second coming, or are they simply doomed to fade away, like Tears on the Glass Desert...
A conceptual chapbook of 24 poems that speculate on both the inevitabilities and the impossibilities of Nuclear Holocaust, the Fallout it brings, and the aftermath of its Decay. Contains poems both new and collected, including reprinted works from Grievous Angel, Polu Texni, Liquid Imagination, Devolution Z: The Horror Magazine, The Literary Hatchet, and The Horror Zine.

[Horror Novel originally published as Rafe Grayson]
Daniel "Devil Boy" Devlin is a troubled thirteen-year-old with a keen imagination. He's dealing with the onset of puberty and struggling to fit in--the kind of kid who's surrounded by monsters and has an appetite for burning himself and setting things on fire...
When Daniel finds a dead body at an abandoned construction site--a withering corpse which appears to be returning to life--his world is going to change. But will this grisly discovery be the key to Daniel's salvation, or is it yet another nightmare leading him further into darkness...
