Fifty poems drawn from two years of work while Cardinal Cox was Poet-in-Residence for the Dracula Society. Yes there are vampires. Plus ancient gods, Frankenstein's creation at the back of a drive-in, Dr Jekyll's sister's guest house, suburban devil worshippers, ship-wrecked sailors, alchemists, murderers and an alien plant.Once frontman of a band that has been name-checked in several sf novels, Cardinal Cox has toured his one-man 'spooken word' show High Stakes to Worldcons in Helsinki and Dublin. In 2019 one of his poems was included in Ellen Datlow's long list of best horror of the year."Cardinal Cox is a poetic wildcard, spinning off all kinds of funny, bizarre and fanciful verse..." - Neal Wilgus, Small Press Review.(cover by Adrian Baldwin)
