The Gorelets Omnibus

The Gorelets Omnibus collects all the bloody little bits of Michael Arnzen's poetry written in the past 10 years into one big volume. From the contents of the original Gorelets chapbook and his classic refrigerator of the damned online magnetic poetry experiment, to Arnzen's latest flash fiction and brand new Zombie Haikruel series, this collection chronicles his revolutionary vision for the horror short form. He even received a Bram Stoker Award for Alternative Forms for some of the work included in this book. As one of the first writers to recognize the creative capacity of handheld devices, Arnzen's pioneering work to deliver gory entertainment in as few characters as possible is still eminently relevant today. Thus, a casebook of criticism-a collection of scholarly analyses of Arnzen's unique approach to the genre-is included alongside the poetry.The hardcover edition contains more than 50 pages of must-have bonus material, including:  the hard-to-find Martha Stewart parody, Michael Arnzen Dying, additional haikruel you won't find elsewhere, unfinished poems and pieces no longer available on his website, the Borelets parody, and an impressive horror poetry workshop of instructional essays by Arnzen on crafting terrifying verse, alongside over 300 twisted writing prompts specifically intended to instigate weirdness.
