PART 4: POETRY:

We are open to all forms of poetry but since this

dark side or horror related.  So no sunshine

what we are looking for.

If you have a new book coming out or movie to be previewed, we are always looking for independent
books and movies.  That is what we are all about and always looking for selections for Bloody Book

Call us old fashioned but we prefer books we can hold.  Films can be on either VHS or DVD.
