Awake in the Dark Scott Swenson

How the Author describes this book... This is a collection of poetry and prose written between 2015 and 2019. These pieces were inspired by nightmares, late night walks with the dog, jumprope rhymes, horror comics and several glasses of wine after midnight. I was able to revisit a character created in a previous book, explore the minds of a few psychopaths and even sneak in a bit of hidden political commentary. These stories and poems run the gamut from sarcastic to caustic. The artwork is a series of acrylic paintings I did specifically for the book. The cover art was created in color and the five illustrations within the book were all painted in black and white. I am very excited that I am finally able to get these pieces out of my head and into your handsÉenjoy.
