Nightmare Need

by Joseph Payne Brennan

Nightmare Need is not for the timid, the conventional, or the squeamish, nor is it meant only for devotees of horror and the supernatural. Edition of 500. A wonderful collection of 57 of Brennan's poems as only he can craft - with a deep sense of foreboding with titles such as The Old Man with Tarnished Eyes, Poems Unpleasant, Confederate Cemetery 1961, Interment for the Atom Age, The Dead Reach Out and many more. 69 pages. 5.25" 7.75".

Joseph Payne Brennan is a gentle, soft spoken, modest man. But beware, for beneath that ordinary exterior lurks the mind of a modern master of fright.
