"Arkansas's Church of the Snake eludes easy classification. Heavily rhythmic noise rock characterizes one strain of the band's sound, while another is marked by hypnotic, psychedelic drones, conceived in the shadowy recesses of a witch doctor's visionary travels among his ancestral spirits. Sometimes the music coming off the stage sounds like it's coming from some twilight universe that Robert W. Chambers dared only hint at in The King in Yellow. Make no mistake: There is something thrillingly sinister and compellingly menacing about this band's music and its shows. Go, if you dare, and risk succumbing to Church of the Snake's venom." - Tom Murphy, Denver Westword

The dark, forbidding alleys of ruined cityscapes; the hopeless lives of brutalized whores, amoral hit-men, and vengeful-victims of violence—these are the landscapes and characters that fill the stories, poems, and prose-poems of Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. in his first collection.
“The prose of Joe Pulver can take its place with that of the masters of our genre—Poe, Lovecraft, Campbell, Ligotti—while his imaginative reach is something uniquely his own.” –from S. T. Joshi’s Foreword
