Sportuary

Award-winning horror author Michael Arnzen invites you to enter the "pentagramathlon" of his twisted imagination in this entertaining collection of disturbing, bizarre and darkly hilarious poems inspired by the wild weird world of sports.

In his review for Dark Krypt magazine, Tim Curran writes: "Employing haiku and free verse, Arnzen plumbs the depths of his aberrant, wonderful imagination and offers biting commentary on the shadowy side of athletics: swimmers mesmerized by hungry undertows and ping pong played with staring human eyes, referees getting their gruesome reward and badminton as played by lunatics...these poems are good!"

This kindle edition updates the impossible-to-find 1st version (from 2003) and features 34 poems and surreal illustrations by fantasy artist Marcia Borell.
