Now We Are Sick

Remember those horrible and gruesome stories from your childhood? Perhaps fears of the dreaded bogeyman or the “Thing under the Bed” that kept you wide-awake and under the sheets during the long night. The many benefits of adulthood include leaving childhood fears behind and enjoying books like this one…

Neil Gaiman and Stephen Jones solicited poems from thirty of the best-known science-fiction, fantasy, and horror authors for this decadent anthology. Poems of dread, horror, and death—with a demented sense of British humor—dredge those deep-rooted, childhood fears from your memory. Four chapters of prose merely whet one’s appetite for more. This is a deliciously deranged book that makes a perfect Hallowe’en reading.
