Midnight in the Garden of Necessary Evil

The 50+ poems amid these pages span such an incredible array of subjects as to nearly defy description. From main-stream topics like fear, dreams, frustration and love, to adult material that will offend the delicate sensibilities of many, Richard Sloane's debut will most assuredly shock little old ladies straight into a coma with his vulgar confessions, taboo hilarity and his own custom genre, 'vigilante horror'. Using numerous rhyming schemes, thematic patterns and perspectives gives this compilation a unique flair that helps break new ground in prose form alongside the introduction of the "Shadowman", the author's morally ambiguous criminal split personality. With unyielding dry humor and eloquent sarcasm providing a rich contrast to the more traditional verses, this collection offers something for everyone.
