Across the globe where shadow drinks the light,
From haunted isles to cities drowned in shade,
Through streets where whispers stir the night,
And eldritch dreams in trembling ink are laid.
In ‘ere black, ‘neath spires piercing the gloom,
The artist shapes what mortal mind should fear,
Where ancient gods arise to break the tomb,
And madness stirs through every trembling tear.
From London fog to tropic’s breathless blight,
From cursed shores to crypts of stone and bone,
Each spine becomes a passage veiled in fright,
A gate where dread asserts its silent throne.
Step forth, bold reader — in these pages dwell,
Where art becomes the key to waking hell.

The publishers heard the screams and lamentations from not only myself, but others too. Thus, for this year, they must have upped the game to make sure releases for the spooky season memorable.
