The Dark Verse is a multiverse of Lovecraftian terror, spanning different realms and times that touches upon evils that transcend the knowable.

This is Sharkchild's second collection of grim and ethereal stories and can be enjoyed independently from the other Dark Verse volumes. The cover of the book is imitation leather with foil stamping on the front, back, and spine; there is no dust cover. All three sides of the pages have black dusting.

Books I rant about are written well, are thoroughly original, and are almost flawless in both content and entertainment. I can state, without a doubt, that IN THE BLOOD OF DEATH is one of these very tomes. If you are any kind of fan of horror fiction, this book (and its brothers) are must-haves." -Matthew Scott Baker "More than once, someone had asked if I was feeling well because my breathing had become labored due to holding my breath for an outcome of one of the stories." -Dane Higbee "Packed with bizarre and twisted stories that make your brain implode!" -Brenden "'The Dark Verse, Vol 2: In the Blood of Death' is a masterfully crafted and illustrated book of 26 short stories. Each story flows seamlessly into the next, but all forms of death and destruction are independent of the others. The accompanying illustrations are fantastic and can only be fully appreciated in the beautifully bound hardback book." -HodgePodge Galore READ ONE OF THE STORIES Read the story, The Man of Letters: KICKSTARTER PROJECT Check out the Kickstarter project that made this book possible Show more
