Between these covers lurk your darkest nightmares; a place where vampires, demons, cannibals, and human monsters all stalk the misty plains of the decidedly demented realm. With a twisted imagination firmly rooted in the pit of our deepest terrors and loathing, author Steve Santini unlocks a Pandora's Box of fearsome prose, purposely crafted with a master's hand to chill the blood and disturb the mind. This is the netherworld of The Graveyard Poet. A shadowy land where mere words have grown razor sharp teeth along with an unholy, insatiable hunger for warm human flesh.

Restrain - Torture - Execute While such practices may seem barbaric in our modern day "civilized" society, in medieval times brutal devices of restraint, cruel tortures, and unimaginable methods of execution were used to both punish and also to send strong messages of deterrence. With over 100 photos and illustrations and drawing on his own impressive personal collection, author Steve Santini separates fact from fiction as he explores these sinister devices and how they fuctioned within the dark framework of medieval justice.
