magnetocyte - original poem

 

magnetocyte

inject me 

with your magnetocytes

with the power

to remodel 

the red and white corpuscles

floating in my blood

erythrocytes and leukocytes

I'm only a violent felon

wandering on steel bars

waiting around to die

I'm willing to contribute

to your esoteric research

doctor

i know you're still 

adjusting the dose response

I don't mind

give me the middle dose

I'll try to metabolize it all

I'm sure you're assistant

will leave an accurate report

of my recovery

justified state death

on your desk

first thing 

Monday morning

Ruby Jean Jensen Covers #1

Ruby Jean Jensen is quite well known for her Zebra horror paperback covers.  To be honest, most of the covers are a lot cooler than the grit of her stories/writings, but it is still always a good read.  

I currently have 2 of these titles but hope to get more, they are just quite hard to come by unless you want to pay eBay's gouged prices by amateur pickers that don't actually care about literature.

enigmatic effigy - original poem

enigmatic effigy

he forms his crumpled fingers

into a century old frigid suplex

a nearly five pointed star

an enigmatic effigy

capable of sucking

the magnetic pull

from symmetrical circles of dust

skirted around the monument base

and push it outward

into sinusoidal waves

forming creaks and knocks

in the night time

century-old cemetery

snowglobe - original poem

 

snowglobe

when trauma hits

like heavy snowfall

the snow globe

gets shaken up a bit

unclear of up from down

the glue really does its job

keeping the plastic in one place

but everything is different

the thick plastic flakes

engineered by some other person

put in their daily hours at a factory

let the plastic clumps settle

the synthetic polymerized bloats

for they carry the thoughts

still unsettled

not glued to the frame

the shavings left over

from some other process

let the process die

to make room for another

let the plastic gumdrops

settle back onto the floor

and place the globe in a spot

that will be stationary for long

only shaken by children

at Christmas time

or when guests are over

and curious

but then it will be discernable

which way is up

which way is down

which plastic has glue

which is manmade

and not of you

that you just have to let settle

because dust always falls

circles ways rotate and tilt

and the suns rays of wisdom

will always come back

after their vacation is over

let the snowglobe sit

as stationary as possible

for as long as you are comfortable

you're in charge of who shakes it

 A super legendary SF writer Michael Moorcock has some stellar covers and novels on the shelves:

William W. Johnstone Covers #1

While William W. Johnstone wrote a bunch of westerns, he has wrote some horror novels.  He is known within the vintage horror paperback community as having some of the most sought after covers.

Let's look at some!

R. Karl Largent Covers #1

While R. Karl Largent might not have a plethora of horror paperbacks associated with his name, the ones he has written are of high quality.  To this day, the cover art for The Lake if still one of my favorites.
