Book Description
In the dark forests and mist-covered mountains of Southeastern Europe, villagers sprinkle seeds on the graves of suspected vampires in an attempt to keep the undead spirits occupied and counting during the night. It is from this superstitious practice that Poppy Seeds on a Grave derives its name. Partially inspired by the folkloric monsters and spirits that dwell in the Balkan mountains, Mirko Markovic employs varied voices to bring different gothic and macabre worlds to life. Each story uniquely draws you into a gothic world of despair and horror that brings the old tales of Eastern European folklore into the modern world.

Book Description
Excerpt from Sword Blades and Poppy Seed N 0 one expects a man to make a chair Without first learning how, but there is a popular impres sion that the poet is born, not made, and that his verses burst from his overflowing heart of them selves. As a matter of fact, the poet must learn his trade in the same manner, and With the same painstaking care, as the cabinet-maker. His heart may overflow with high thoughts and sparkling fancies, but if he cannot convey them to his reader by means of the written word he has no claim to be considered a poet. A workman may be par doned, therefore, for spending a few moments to explain and describe the techhique of his trade. A work of beauty Which cannot stand an inti mate examination is a poor and jerry-built thing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
