Halloween is the perfect time for this "insane collection of stories!" (Amazon review)

From a child's toys to a pack of coyotes; a haunted abandoned lodge to a massive King Cobra; a day ofnpure chaos to a sick fetish that leads to death...

Much gratitude to Michael Simms for curating my poem 'The Rocky Mountain Locust Surge' in Vox Populi.

This poem first appeared in Gargoyle Magazine #65 (Thanks, Richard!), and Marjorie Maddox previously selected it for The Poetry Moment.
