    About this ebook

    Teenage werewolves, dreamy lovers, and monsters haunt this morbid collection of poems inspired by real-life events.

    Stan uses creatures of the night and dark imagery to explore the dimensions of heartbreak and the forbidden subconscious, then brings the reader into the lighter side of life with love, nature, and witty story poems. 

    As a bonus, Stan also included poems inspired by her first young adult novel, Poet Tongue, a werewolf romance with horror elements.

    So flip through the pages, cuddle with a black cat, and don't forget to put a cauldron on the stove.

    For the best magick, add a sprinkle of Nightshade. 

    Poetry sections include topics on:
    1) Heartbreak
    2) Love
    3) The Mind
    4) Nature
    5) Story Poems
    6) Poems Inspired by Poet Tongue, Stan's first young adult werewolf novel

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Part I: Heartbreak

      Beauty That Kills

      Beware the fall into aesthetic arrest.

      You must stay away.

      Hold yourself against

      The beauty that kills.

      As much as you want to

      Bow down and gaze upon

      Incredible beauty,

      It will lead to your downfall.

      As much as you want to trace

      The graceful lines of the painting,

      You must simply look and never chase.

      And never follow the beauty into the darkness,

      For it will lead you down the path of death.

      Black Mask

      Go on, Young Prince.

      Keep believing to yourself it’s true,

      That the pretty girl still loves you.

      I rest and ponder,

      Behind my black mask,

      Obscure and wonderous like the night sky.

      Hypnotized, with my chocolate eyes,

      As you peer beyond my disguise.

      This magick is mine.

      One day, when I am ready,

      I will use my powers with courage,

      To enchant a new lover.
