Description
K. A. Opperman conjures up a pageant of autumnal imagery sure to delight all fans of the Halloween season. Often recalling the charming rhymes on vintage postcards, these poems take us on a stirring journey deep into October's heart, offering treats-and a few tricks-to those brave enough to follow the jack-o'-lantern's orange grin into the night. Put on your costume, grab your pumpkin-shaped treat-bucket, and come discover what treasures are to be found past the glad and sunlit season, where both the dying year-and youth itself-confront what it means to face the darkness at summer's end.
The poetry in this delightful volume is accompanied by 15 full-page illustrations by noted weird artist Dan Sauer, whose images celebrate the macabre nostalgia evoked by the the poems of Mr. Opperman and by All Hallows' Eve itself.
