The Killer Poet’s Guide to Immortality is the riveting tale of a frustrated poet who decides that the best way to get his work read is by pinning it to corpses with a dagger. Mixing poetry with page-turning narrative, this literary crime novel / urban fantasy / sci-fi fun ride is alternately profound and hilarious. The Killer Poet’s Guide to Immortality subverts our societal obsession with violence and celebrity by using it as bait for an exploration of the value of poetry in our era, presence with the beauty and fragility of life, a possible second coming of a poet savior, and a send-up of organized religion. Think demon spawn of Confederacy of Dunces / A Coney Island of the Mind / Monty Python. Then stop thinking & have fun!
