I’m excited to announce I’ve got a poem in the upcoming Poetry Showcase being put together by the Horror Writers Association.

My vampire poem “Transubstantiation” was written a very long time ago, when I was trying my hand at writing song lyrics. (It’s so much harder than it looks!) It was recorded by Trance and released on the album The Beaten Track in 1989. You can check that whole album out on Bandcamp: https://masonjones.bandcamp.com/album/trance-the-beaten-track

The poem has never appeared in print. I’m thrilled to have “Transubstantiation” appear beside work by Marge Simon, Lisa Morton, Sumiko Saulson, Mercedes M. Yardley, and a whole lot more of my HWA comrades.  The whole table of contents is on editor Stephanie Wytovich’s blog: https://stephaniewytovich.blogspot.com/2020/07/hwa-poetry-showcase-vol-7-toc.html

I’m not sure when the book itself will be out, but I can’t wait to see it.
