Dead Love: Apocalyptic Pop Sonnets

IRON MOUNTAIN — Just in time for the season of shadows, World Mythic Entertainment has announced Northwoods Wisconsin area author Wade Walker’s debut poetry collection, “Dead Love: Apocalyptic Pop Sonnets,” a hauntingly lyrical, darkly imaginative exploration of love that lingers long after death and sometimes returns for more.

With many of the pieces originally conceived as songs, the poems in “Dead Love” blur the line between melody and morbidity. Walker spins verses of doomed romance, unhinged longing, and undead devotion. From earnest early works to delightfully twisted odes that play like haunted pop songs, “Dead Love” offers readers something rare: poetry that’s both emotionally raw and sometimes deliciously deranged.

“While these pieces were written to be heard,” said Walker. “I found they still held poetic weight when read on the page. And when viewed as a larger work, the underlying themes of horror, loss, and obsession formed a compelling thread worth presenting in poetic form.”

“Dead Love” invites readers to see love through a cracked lens, one that reflects both beauty and decay — a collection perfect for fans of anyone who believes that love, like the undead, doesn’t simply die.

The book is available in paperback and digital editions through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and select indie retailers.

Walker is also the author of the action-horror thriller novels “Bite of the Wolf” and “Operation Frankenstein,” featuring werewolf superspy Val West, aka Code Name: LoneWolf.

A new short in the series, the Halloween special Night of the “Pumpkin Man,” was released digitally Oct. 1 and is available as a special $0.99 Kindle eBook.
