A normal, quiet life shatters, an unassuming young woman finds herself suddenly thrust into a world where monsters and magic do exist, an an ancient power reawakens to once again clash with the forces of darkness for the benefit of mankind. But first, of course, she is going to have a bit of fun. In his most ambitious project ... to date, Stanley Victor Paskavich weaves a tale of love and loss, sex and death. In this epic poem, Stanley tells a tale at once familiar and refreshing as old notions are shattered by the twists and turns laid out, page after page. Once you start reading, you won't be able to put it down as you become lost in a world of bloodlust and sorcery presented in a way you've never before seen but that becomes so integral to the storytelling that you will have to stop and ask yourself, “Is this a poem?” Open the cover and step inside.read more

He has been writing poetry since he was seventeen years old. Stan says, “As far as my life and the lives of other veterans, don't be afraid to go to the V. A. and get the help you need. They have done wonders with my life and, without their help, I probably wouldn't be here today.”read more
