About
Details
Echoes of the fantasies of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard resonate through the poems that make up this retrospective collection of macabre verse. Working mostly in basic rhyming quadrameter and pentameter and often in traditional sonnet forms, Tierney (The Drums of Chaos) ably evokes the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos ("Midsummer Nightmare") and the muscular heroics of Conan the Barbarian and his offshoots (the 12-poem cycle grouped as "The Doom of Hyboria").
