The darkness waits beyond the door,

With slasher's blade and werewolf's claw,

With vampire's fang and ancient curse,

Two dozen horrors trapped in verse,

In sonnets, terzanelle, a blitz,

An Irish form that shreds one's wits,

And new inventions, wrought to thrill,

So step inside, there's blood to spill!

Ibrahim S. Amin was educated at the Manchester Grammar School, the University of Newcastle, and the University of Manchester. He wallowed in education for as long as he could, earning his PhD in Classics & Ancient History. At that point he ran out of excuses and joined the real world ? where he now writes to support his unhealthy takeaway addiction.

You can learn more about his books, ask him questions, and read random musings on his Goodreads author page, or endure his rants on Twitter (@Ibrahim_S_Amin).
