Books by Cliff Burns

Fifteen tales set in modern, metropolitan locales, featuring a diverse cast of characters struggling to eke out an existence amid gleaming, opulent towers and sprawling cityscapes.Timely, unsparing and satirical, Electric Castles employs a variety of genres--including dark fantasy, magic realism and crime fiction--to take readers on a guided tour through the fierce, pulsating heart of contemporary society.

In his latest collection of poetry, Cliff Burns addresses the moral and spiritual dilemmas pervading modern life and the anxiety that manifests itself as we recognize the scope of the challenges confronting us. Haunting, personal and impassioned, The Algebra of Inequality intimately examines the dark places inside us, while refusing to entirely discount the healing graces of unconditional love.Cliff Burns is the author of twelve books of prose and poetry, including So Dark the Night (2010) and Righteous Blood (2016). Over the past three decades his work has appeared in publications and anthologies around the world and has been adapted and performed on radio and stage.
