{"product_id":"strange-wisdoms-of-the-dead","title":"Strange Wisdoms of the Dead","description":"A Philadelphia Inquirer Editor's Choice selection.\nAllen’s is poetry for goths of all ages . . . There is a long tradition of poetry dealing with the uncanny — think Keats’ ‘La Belle Dame Sans Merci’ or Coleridge’s ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ — and it’s nice to see someone putting it to such use again. Allen’s poems . . . do a fine job of making the human scary and the scary human.\n—PopMatters\nThe literary equivalent of a Caravaggio painting, where light is bright and casts all the more shadow for its brilliance . . . Fantastical places like the REM Sleep Factory, the belly of the enigmatic Time Shark, the Gates of Hell, and even the Apocalypse itself; these and others are not dark places but places where light and darkness intermingle to cast long, clawed shadows.\n— The Pedestal Magazine\nA comprehensive Mike Allen anthology covering ten years, compiling not just his poems but his fiction and collaborations as well . . . Strange Wisdoms of the Dead features some of his more daring and experimental work and so you might want to check this out for that. This is a splendid collection.\n—Fantasy Literature\nMythic Delirium Books edition\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 098891249X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.098891249X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Allen, Mike\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
