Poetry, Songs and Stygian Stories- Author Lucas McPherson & Cyan Jenkins as illustrator

Lucas McPherson’ Poetry, Songs and Stygian Stories might be short and to the point but they are very original mixing Vampires and Vegans to a very comical view on the latest high tech devices they have come up with to blow your mind with in the porn world in The Final Frontier (an Explicit sketch). My personal favorite out of the short stories was titled Cellulitopia (micro fiction) in which she makes you realize how vain we all have become with our appearances by paying outrageous prices to rid ourselves of our imperfections- the imperfections that society has placed upon us by shoving the whole skinny is beautiful thing in our faces all these years. Also the poetry gives us a peek at what’s floating around in that brain of hers. The hand drawn pictures in the book that compliment the story was provided by the artist Cyan Jenkins and you can find more of her work at the following website: CyanJenkins.blogspot.com

Alexander S. Brown sent me a copy of his book Traumatized and it kept me on my couch the whole weekend with my nose buried in his 15 fabulous tales. This is a smorgasboard of stories to tempt your sensory taste buds with. I say this because there is a story about every topic there is- from witches, demons, and hell, to a nasty bout with sushi! But here is the thing, even though they are topics we’ve already heard about thousands of times before, they are all still original storylines that haven’t already been imprinted in your noggin from years of previous experience. It’s always hard enough to find an author you like, but I can assure you Brown’s work will impress you.

ISBN: 9781905636150
Author: Joseph D’Lacey

In the slowly fermenting town of Abyrne the towns people depend on meat for their sole existence. Magnus is the meat barren who rules all and doesn’t seem to have a moral or decent bone in his disgusting wasted soul. Richard “icepack” Shanti has been the top dog on the chain speed for the chosen. He is the only man who seems to not be affected by being the man behind the stun gun.

Reading about how the cattle are prepared and treated you will doubt if you ever want to eat meat again. You learn just how the plants are run and the way the cows are slaughtered for our throbbing taste buds. Some people have decided they don’t want to be ruled by meat and they do not want to eat it. Suddenly the town is being threatened by these outsiders.

Read as Abyrne slowly falls a part and the control the meat barren has over the towns people slowly is unraveled and a war begins. Can Shanti really have guilt over all the cows he has put down in the past or does he not give a damn and just want to keep those numbers up. You will not believe the outcome to this totally original storyline, Can the chosen be saved or will they all succumb to being someone’s dinner?
