NEW RELEASE - Darkling's Beasts and Brews

LVP Publications is proud to present our first ever combination poetry anthology and mixology guide: DARKLING’S BEASTS AND BREWS

Our very own graveyard host Darkling has curated this collection of creature-feature verse and expertly paired every poem with a beverage guaranteed to stiffen your spine. If you prefer your chilling tales alongside a chilled cocktail, if you enjoy haunting rhyme accompanied by soda and lime, if you have a taste for stanzas with a swig or quatrains with a quaff ... one book does it all!
