About NEUROTICA:
A new collection of poetry from Pushcart Prize and Bram Stoker Award nominated author Maxwell I. Gold!
“Complex and atmospheric… Amongst the unease and sense of foreboding, there is belief in the power of one’s heart to prevail.” –Booklist, starred review
"Neurotica is filled with stitched words, seamless, that express breathless desolations and scorching devastations..." —Ai Jiang, Bram Stoker and Nebula award-winning author of Linghun
Thirty-two bold new literary poems including "A Stretch of Highway", "A Prelude to Madness", "A Picture of Dead Stars in the Sky", and more paint a modern, interpersonal portrait of the Jewish poet.
Neurotica features an introduction from Bram Stoker Award winner John Langan (The Fisherman).
