NEW from Blood Pudding Press! PEDIOPHOBIA by Daniel G. Snethen!

Tonight, within the final dark hours of Friday the 13th of December 2019, one night after the last full moon of the year, is the perfect night to introduce the creepy, crawly, scary, strangely rotating table of doll heads within a NEW Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook! PEDIOPHOBIA by Daniel G. Snethen!

PEDIOPHOBIA's amalgamation of horrific dolls is Blood Pudding Press's style! Quirky, dark, darkly comedic, oddly disturbing, and twisted. Screaming eyed dolls and broken doll bodies. Dolls as killers, dolls as evil, dolls as gods, dolls as horror movie scenes, dolls as bloody apples, dolls as distorted bible verse.

PEDIOPHOBIA offers you sixteen peculiar poems by Daniel G. Snethen!

PEDIOPHOBIA artwork was created especially for this collection by Josh Birrittieri - an outside front cover, an inside front cover, and an outside back cover!

PEDIOPHOBIA has been printed and designed by Blood Pudding Press creature Juliet Cook, bound with yarn AND scraggly doll hair, but don't blame me if the doll hair bites you!

According to Daniel G. Snethen himself:

"My newest chapbook Pediophobia (Fear of Dolls) will soon be ready. It will be bound together by hand. Juliet Cook is the publisher and owner of Blood Pudding Press. Every copy will be handmade by her. Juliet is also an extraordinary poet herself. Josh Birrittieri did all the graphics for this chapbook and they are absolutely amazing. And I may be bragging a bit here, but I doubt you will find a better more complete collection of doll poetry anywhere. Many of the poems are creepy some are funny and a few are sad. One is a continuation of a famous episode from the Twilight Zone. One or two might even be considered demented. And several of them are peopled with personages I personally know. If you dare to read these and you know me, don't be too surprised if you recognize some of the characters and settings. If you hate dolls and find them creepy and disturbing, this slim volume of poetry is definitely for you. It will cure you of narcolepsy and will give you reason to run the light meter all eventide long. So please spend a few dollars and indulge yourself... your insanity is worth it."

"Green glassy eyed heads
Unblinking verdant eyed stares
Headless dolls of Hell"

(within the poem "Nightmare of Dolls")

"Dark human corpses piled
high on doll infested hills.
Unblinking dolls smiling,
keeping tally with their quills,
as people topple"

(within the poem "Doll Food")

"Fearfully, I turn and flee from the cottonwoods of doll heads but
not before hearing Mother weeping and crying out in her aged voice,
“My son, my son, why hast thou forsaken me!”"

(within the poem "Doll Heads")

NEW in Burning House Press - 3 Poems by me and j/j hastain!

j/j hastain and I have three poems up at Burning House Press today, within the Labyrinth! Thank you to Guest Editor Dhiyanah Hassan!

Sometimes I wonder whose semi-secret shit list I’m on
and why. Maybe I’m just paranoid.
I have my own scars, my own forms

of damage control, but not quite enough
time to get it right or trust
my own impulses.

The NEW July Flock of Thirteen Myna Birds is HERE!

he stumbled into his “vanishing box” - decomposing beneath unbroken skin - ghosts walk upside-down across the ceiling - salivating over evidence - decayed buildings - the crazy in her twinkled - the tip into the fleshlight - turned up it floats faster - it’s mutiny you know to be human inside of this sex show - she wanted him to feel intimidated and to feel as insignificant as she did

of hearing my sick voice trying
to force itself into him and so soon
I wouldn't have a voice anymore."

DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS next to a light purple baby skull

"Will she ever understand
that my doll brain works differently
than her doll brain and I want to escape
being handled by somebody else?

I don't want to have a string attached to my back
connected to someone else's hand,
so that someone else can choose what I do or do not
say by pulling that string."

NEW in Maudlin House - "Wow Bob Wow" by me and j/j hastain!

"Imagine all of the apples meant
to be bobbed,
being eaten by a random circus performer
named Bob
and then being spat
into confessional booths,
core after core split into pieces.

Every fake priest is a little girl’s dad,showing and telling her

what she should or shouldn’t do

while he peels her skin off."

In me and j/j's collaborative poem,"Wow Bob Wow", which appears in Maudlin House - https://maudlinhouse.net/wow-bob-wow/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=SocialWarfare&fbclid=IwAR1HD9V_6AnidgOq3kQ9bU615wow82KP8_NYXYVI5wTlXsDdyYOgTgNmiWQ

poetry mini interview (part five)

I am up at poetry mini interview again (Very short interviews with poets, Conducted by Thomas Whyte), where poets offer 5 short answers to 5 short questions, one per week.

Here's my FIFTH and final answer - http://poetryminiinterviews.blogspot.com/2019/04/juliet-cook-part-five.html

(I must have answered this question a while ago, because NOW one of the chapbooks I refer to has had its name slightly changed to "Dark Purple Intersections (inside My Black Doll Head Irises)" and it is DONE and will be revealed VERY SOON - AND the other chapbook I mention, "red circles into nothing" was recently accepted by Clare Songbirds Publishing - AND I created ANOTHER new chapbook and had that one accepted too!)

NEW in Bone & Ink - Combustible Shift by Juliet Cook and j/j hastain

"Stretch marks create their own dance move
in which you want to maneuver your way out
of your flesh and all its moth holes.

You can’t help but want to move out of
the fatty strobe, create your own
strobe light, pour out the well
and mix up the bar
until piñatas are in every martini."
