IT'S HERE!

HELL IS A BIPOLAR DYSTOPIA . . .

Written over the course of 35 years, this gritty, bizarre poetry, prose, and storytelling will have you questioning reality and the nature of sanity. Here you'll find haunting portrayals of mania, psychotic episodes, and depression. Read evocative tales of life-changing events, brief stories of supernatural nightmares, and dozens of pages of some of the strangest subjects ever addressed in poetry!

HERE'S A SAMPLE FROM THE BOOK. ITS CALLED "ESCAPEE"

  

Behind the abandoned, decrepit garage,

beneath where the sapphire sky

bled into cobalt,

above where our feet fell upon crunching leaves 

(fiery orange, red, and brown),

in a tiny, dying, desolate town, 

long since forgotten by progress and time . . .

that’s where my cousin and I found the ghost.

It’s no wonder, really,

that there’d be a few escapees from the gathering of tombstones just up the road.

This one took a liking to Grandpa’s big satellite dish

(the old kind from the eighties, planted in the ground, giant and intimidating to the eyes of a child).

The ghost said the dish helped him channel the signals from Space,

to increase his energy flow.

No wonder Grandpa’s TV reception was bad!

I know now, years later, 

somewhere,

that ghost is basking in energy

siphoned from Wi-Fi and smart phones.
