Sharp sticks, garlic, crosses, and courage. That used to be enough for anyone to kill a vampire. Not anymore. Now you need a stoker. Stokers, the trade name for those engaged in vampire population control, no longer rely on such antiquated methodologies. Effective regulation requires the assistance of modern technology. Indeed, for stokers, applications accessed via smart phone have become the great equalizer against undead foes. But equal doesn’t mean safe. In truth, stoking remains about as safe as nitroglycerine, especially for the most skilled stokers, who are employed to eliminate the most lethal vampires. In New York City, there is no more dangerous assignment than stoking Safkinsop. Perils await his pursuers. Nevertheless, a renowned stoker and his ambitious apprentice are determined to drag the undead into daylight, even if it means they could be dragged further into the dark, further away from the living, where the line between predator and prey is thinner than the gossamer silk Safkinsop spins when he shapeshifts into a spider.

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....
