Bøker av Frank Coffman

Frank Coffman's fourth major collection of speculative verse in the genres of Weird, Horrific Supernatural, Fantasy, and Science Fiction.

THE GARGOYLICON: IMAGININGS AND IMAGES OF THE GARGOYLE IN LITERATURE AND ART is a compendium of visions and unique perspectives on this intriguing and enigmatic figure. Beyond its function as a water spout to send potentially damaging rain water away from walls and foundations of buildings, it has also been seen as both a symbol of Evil forces and, in seeming contradiction, as a protector against the same. Was it meant to also frighten the unbeliever into faith and keeping the "straight and narrow path," or, perhaps, to attract pagans due to its grotesque and monstrous appearance-the stuff of their legends?The poetry, fiction, and art in this tome offer a great variety of perspectives upon and interpretations of these wonders.

This is the first anthology from THE WEIRD POETS SOCIEtY, a Facebook group open only to published poets in the various areas of Speculative and Higly Imaginative Literature. It represents a fine sampling of the range of topics and poetic styles of several of the members. It is hoped that this will become an annual anthology. This one represents poetry published in 2018 or not previously published.
