AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BIG TOP was published in 2006 as a limited edition staple-bound chap-book. This special edition paperback is perfect-bound and includes additional artwork by the author as well as the original poem "one dead marmoset." which was expanded into this short story made up of poems. Each poem in this dark collection stands as a chapter within the book's story - the tale of a disaster at a strange circus. The Big Top hides a Doctor Frankenstein of sorts. Man-made side-show freaks rise up against this madman who created them & then launch a full-scale attack upon the entire circus. A book rich with detail that pulls no punches, black and white interior illustrations and full color watercolor paintings on the cover. The clown on the cover is obviously evil and has an axe. This is not a children's book. This book has received praise from several fine authors including Carter Monroe, Tim Peeler, Mike Maguire, Jim Chandler and Dean Koontz.
