Shitty Vampire

Shitty VAmpire by JS Breukelaar.

I came across this the other day. My poem Shitty Vampire in Trunk Books Vol II: Blood. This is a cool little book, full of great art and text. The beautiful image next to my poem is by senVoodoo. The launch was awesome. Very shmancy, the shmanciest I’ve been to. But strange, too. A huge buffet and lots of press. And all the food was bloody. Serious. Great Medieval sides of rare mammal, and tamarillos and cranberries. Bloody Marys. Really random.

Anyway, the poem was first published at Opium. It’s about a vampire who hates the sight of blood, so that makes him pretty shitty. Best read out in an Irish accent. I don’t know why.

I talk dirty at LitReactor – Palahniuk, Cormac McCarthy, Proulx and more.

I know, right? It had lines like, “Please Tom. I can’t wait any more,” and “His swollen thickness was drawing pleasures…
