The dark, forbidding alleys of our ruined cityscapes; the hopeless
lives of brutalized whores, amoral hit-men, and vengeful victims of
violence-these are the landscapes and characters that fill the
stories, poems, and prose-poems of Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. in his
first collection. And yet, there is a strange and intoxicating
beauty to Pulver's creations, for they transport the reader out of
the mundane and into the unearthly by the effortless stroke of a
dazzling metaphor. Many of Pulver's stories are innovative riffs on
the enigmatic mythology of The King in Yellow, pregnant with the
demonic witchery of the original. With this collection, Pulver has
placed himself in the forefront of contemporary fantasy and horror
literature. "The prose of Joe Pulver can take its place with that
of the masters of our genre-Poe, Lovecraft, Campbell, Ligotti-while
his imaginative reach is something uniquely his own." -From S. T.
Joshi's Foreword "In this innovative, hypnotic collection, Joseph
S. Pulver, Sr. has proven himself to be a perversely masterful
sculptor of our dreams."-Jeffrey Thomas "Joe Pulver is a dark star
is the merciless cosmos of weird fiction. His work is as brutal as
it is beautiful." -Wilum Pugmire "In an earlier day I feel sure Joe
Pulver would have been arrested for writing some of the stuff in
this collection. Maybe he will be yet How can he write, with such
intricate delicacy, thunderous prose that fairly rips up the pages
it is printed on? I wish I knew " -Robert M. Price Joseph S.
Pulver, Sr. is the acclaimed author of the Lovecraftian novel
Nightmare's Disciple and author of20many short stories that have
appeared in magazines and anthologies. He has received several
Honorable Mentions in Datlow & Windling's The Year's Best
Fantasy and Horror. Whatever your expectations may be, check them
at the door. Pulver has a truly unique style for the horror genre,
and this collection of short stories is a perfect vehicle for this
sort of style . . . Pulver is an original. Rick Kleffel s The Agony
Column While some may find scholar S.T. Joshi's claim in his
introduction that Pulver can take his place with that of the
masters of our genre (including Poe and Lovecraft) a trifle
hyperbolic, all will agree that Pulver is a writer to watch. (Dec.)
Publisher s Weekly "Some writers one admires and others make one
want to do as they do, or try. For me, Joe Pulver is of the latter
type. His imagination is so vile so much of the time that it makes
me giggle with amazement. And the prose so deadly visionary. I'm
grateful that the pieces in this collection are those of a fellow
horror writer who has raised the ante on what it means to be such a
creature." -- Thomas Ligotti
