The hook with this one is that it’s an epic poem about werewolves in modern day L.A. written entirely in free verse. Unfortunately, there’s not much more to it than the hook — characterization gives way to tone and the entire thing is pretty much about moving the (three) plot(s) along (to the ‘climactic’ convergence). But, hey: epic poem, werewolves in L.A., free verse, L.A., werewolves. And the author’s from Detroit. Maybe that’s enough.

I’m worth $1MM in prizes. I am without excuse.
I’ve redesigned this thing a mere two times. This is its third iteration. It’s using WordPress, for the first time. This theme was adapted from the standard, Kubrick. Border elements prefacing the ‘comments’ were graciously provided by Barrett Stanley, from his 100 Erased Lincolns.

I hope you’re happy.
