While you’re happily reading “The House in the Valley” (Derleth) or “A Guest of Ganymede,” (C. C. MacApp) try to remember that it couldn’t happen to you…iot just couldn’t...or could it? What kind of monstrosities are lurking just outside our doors? “Emissary” (Charles E. Fritch) and “Hand of Death” (Marjorie Murch Stanley) might give a clue. Let’s hope you don’t find out…the hard way! It’s been said, “If something exists, somebody somewhere collects it.” With “Something in the Wind” (Gregory Luce) or perhaps “Father’s Vampire” (Len J. Moffatt) you may think twice about your own obscure collections… We’ve got the hauntings, the fear of the unknown, the dark recesses of human nature, and other shadowy evils that will give you goose-bumps in this eighth new addition of Armchair Fiction’s Horror Gems!

Watch out for sneaky stalkers, wicked Wraiths, and singing stiffs.

Music’s ineffable power has never been so lyrically rendered as in Gregory Luce’s new collection. Erik Satie, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, Charles Mingus, Richard Strauss, Nick Cave—such masters and many more appear here. Luce’s carefully crafted poems are as elegant as the songs which they so deftly capture.Nathan Leslie, Author ofHurry Up and Relax, Sibs,andBest Small Fictions Series Editor“That torpedo had our names / on it from the start,” Gregory Luce writes at the end of “Improvisation: Sunk,” one of many urgent and poignant poems navigating to the tune of destiny and knowing loss in Riffs & Improvisations. This wondrous collection gifts us inspired poetic “riffs” infused with musical sensibility, “cascading like / notes,” off the page “like Trane / soloing filigrees.” He paints vivid internal and external lyric landscapes: hospital waiting rooms, dance floors, and transports us to Paris 1920 with a breeze that “wafts over the piano.” Luce plunges into language with an arsenal of truths composing a score from the muses of lived experience—a luminous book propelling a voice we crave.Ava C. Cipri, Author of Leaving the Burdened Ground and Queen of SwordsThe stunning poems in Gregory Luce’s Riffs & Improvisations know ecstasy. They pulse, ache, and rejoice. These poems live in kitchens, juke joints, symphony halls, and most importantly, the human heart. Luce conducts masterfully. We feel the beat in a crowded Metro Station, we dance, mistaking our breathing for another’s. These poems take us into the marrow of music, where rhythm recognizes its relatives in our bones. These poems take us into cold purgatory and a river of bourbon. Luce gives us Coltrane, and much more, which means, his poems save us.Joseph Ross, Author of Acheand Raising King
