Mad scientists, ghouls, and zombies. A wild boy who evades capture, and a disgruntled student who morphs into a cat creature. A mild-mannered narrator who suddenly finds himself captured by a nomadic warrior-woman, or sent on a wild flume ride through a mansion, or facing the world-turned-violent of a video game. These are some of the strange occurrences found in M.V. Montgomery's imaginative new fiction collection, Night-Crawl. It contains fifty short tales ranging from the campfire-ready to the avant-garde, and will appeal to fans of Gothic fiction, movies, comic books, and the fantastic.

Fans of old Saturday afternoon creature features and Alfred Hitchcock mystery anthologies will relish this thrilling collection of stories from author M.V. Montgomery. These are tales of haunted Hollywood, from an ill-fated vampire documentary to the tragic case of a method actor who takes his latest monster assignment too seriously. And for those whose sense of humor may sometimes stretch beyond the pale, rest assured you will find plentiful zombies, witches, spirits, and other creatures of the night that prefer to bump against the funny bone. Welcome

In this new collection of lyrics and faux tales, M.V. Montgomery channels a voice from somewhere in the collective unconscious, spinning poems out of ancient ritual and urban legend, made-up monsters and divinities, familiar and alien worlds. In the playful spirit of Calvino or Saint-Exupery, What We Did With Old Moons sets out not simply to explore mythologies, but to create them anew.

In Strange Conveyances, a real world is evoked. Within the re-enactment, the recollection, the facsimile, the poet goes about his mysterious business. In the manner of the last man cataloguing the universe for whatever might follow mankind, or an American Proust discovering himself in the lingering images of memory like a ghost on the edge of a photograph, Montgomery is both the wise, mundivagant sage and the baseball-capped friend at the bar, discussing the wonderful machinations of existence with the easy tones of a close friend shooting the breeze about the weekend ballgame. Like any gifted interlocutor's, his reports are personal, but universal; the inner logic of the poetry, with its philosophical clarity and ensuing verisimilitude, never fails to reveal emotional or psychological truths that are impossible to deny - thanks in the main to a charming and overarching benevolence.

Every now and then, we chance upon a work of art that makes us aware of life in all of its complexities, splendor, and wonderment. M.V. Montgomery's Strange Conveyances is one such work. Montgomery's poetry is real and accessible-not the poetry of angst buried in dark corners, but the work of one who lives with eyes open, drinking in the details of beauty we as humans too often overlook. Whether he is writing of an afternoon football game among friends or the real pain of a child without a father, Montgomery grasps us and pulls us closer in to the picture. "Look," his poetry urges us, "look at life before it passes you by."
