Bibliophobia

Résumé du livre

After experimenting with form, humor, gore, and genre in his previous award-nominated collections, John Edward Lawson turns his eye to that which we have unreasoning fear of. The phobias we secretly harbor compel us to do horrible, inexplicable things. Bibliophobia explores each phobia in turn, translating what we know and love into a monstrous snare designed to haunt readers. Lawson brings the African American insights to horror in this volume, turning away from Afrofuturism to shine a light on the dystopic black experience. HWA Lifetime Achievement Award winner Linda Addison says of Lawson's previous work: "Whimsical, strange, and unflinchingly true, Lawson's work is always entertaining. Like coming home to unanswered screams, Lawson's poems weave words into unforgettable songs of sweet darkness."
