Books by Stark Hunter

Scenes from the Cerebellum is the 9th literary work to be released through Mind Tavern. It is easy to say that it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what this book is, was or will be. Maybe the best way to explain these pages is: It's a "ghost book," a book about death, the Ultimate Reality in life. The Big Jump. The one event in life we are all waiting for. Included therein is a veritable phalanx of mental and photographic images abounding and manifesting on the pages like hundreds of ectoplasmic filaments, squirming out of my mind in the form of poetic excursions for the curious reader to absorb. As with many poetic works, this one screams the same: This is personal!

If the dead could speak from their graves, what would they tell us, the living, about their insights on life and longevity? In Digested by the Dust, the dead come alive again and reveal details about their historic times in Whittier, California at the turn of the 20th Century, their private lives, successes and failures, their secret loves and fantasies, and finally, the circumstances of their unique deaths, all in extended epitaph form.

Voices From Mt. Olive Cemetery is Stark Hunter's sequel to his first volume of epitaphs, Voices From Clark Cemetery, published in 2012. This new collection of 77 epitaphs, again, examines the lives of 77 early settlers of Whittier, California, during the first three decades of the Twentieth Century. If the dead could speak to us, what would they say?
