author:  Ryan Mecum 
description: "<i>Werewolf Haiku</i> is definitely entertaining and looks fantastic... this thing is downright edible." -- <i>Fangoria Magazine</i><br /><br />"<i>Werewolf Haiku</i> recounts the heartbreaking story of a repressed mailman who slowly loses control of his inner beast after he is bitten by a werewolf. As he wrestles with the monster within, he chronicles his feelings and urges in a haiku journal. The resulting poems are gross, strange and hilarious." -- <i>Bloody Disgusting </i><br /><br />"This is the third in a series of phenomenal books by the modern master of poetic macabre, Ryan Mecum. Mecum never fails to deliver a powerful story in his poems through humorous observations, gory details, and the unnatural ability to string horrific words together ingeniously." -- Mark L. Miller, <i>Ain't It Cool News</i>
