Brutal Dreamer's INSANITY is reality ---check it out at:

THE DREAM PEOPLE's BIZARRE ISSUE goes live! Drop by THE DREAM PEOPLE MAGAZINE at http://www.dreampeople.org/ editors: John Edward Lawson and Jennifer Barnes.

The Bizarre is up and ready to be devoured. My bizarre poem: BIZZARE ZOMBIE BABY CASKET is entombed with a classic as Charlee Jacob! This is an experimental piece that had originated with Michael Arnzen’s “GORELETS” that I wrote. I have then altered, revised and snapped it together with wire and Velcro, creating a more bizarre piece of work than ever. I hope you gag, shiver, and say: “What in the world was she thinking when she wrote this weird piece?” It has received some incredible reviews and messages off my authors den thus far. Michael Arnzen: http://gorelets.com/ You want to know what the fridge of the damned is? Want to know what a gorelet is?
