DARK AND UNKIND... A ghoul and his dog...drunken shadows...young lovers and blood...the end of the world... grotesques come to wretched life...flaming skulls...self-loathing and pillow-talk...sarcasm and poetry...the nostalgia of Harvey Wallbangers...killer priests and pig-men...fun with psychology ...sex, death, and violence...all manner of observation, and strange appointments with the mysterious Waiting Man...it's all here...and it's all rather dark...and unkind... Dark and Unkind: A Collection of Stuff and Things by Shannon Slatter. (mostly stuff...but a few things)

A collection of thought and poetry. Free verse and rhyme. Reflection, introspection, epigraph, and the odd narrative.
