An Abecedary of Monsters and the Monstrous

(2012)
A collection of poems by

 
 
Everybody loves monsters, right? And everybody loves limericks. So...why not LIMERICKS ABOUT MONSTERS?

This Abecedary (fancy word for A-B-C Book) contains over 150 limerick-like verses dealing with monsters and horrors from fiction, film, and television - from the famous ones like Frankenstein and Dracula to obscurities like The Neanderthal Man and the Monolith Monsters. If you are a fan of B-Movies (there's even a verse about Drive-Ins), or comics, or more serious treatments of creatures in novels and short stories, there's something here for you.

The book even includes a list of References and Influences, a bibliography of films and books that have triggered imaginations for decades.

Be prepared to read, to shiver (a little, here and there), and enjoy.
